Moncton High School (MHS) is a high school in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada that was founded in 1935. It is housed in a unique building that has gone through many renovations through the years. The current student population is 1,321. MHS is considered a Canadian heritage property. At one point before it became a heritage property, the government proposed closing Moncton High, and constructing a new facility named MacNaughton High School that would rival the size and population of Fredericton High School. Due to political pressure, however, the school was not closed. The school colours are purple and white, and the mascot is a "Purple Knight".

The words are as is listed below, and it is sung to the tune of the Notredame school song.

Stand up and cheer for old Moncton High
Ring out her name right up to sky
Play the game and then you'll see
That is the road to victory.
When'ere you see our purple and white
you can be sure that we're out to fight.

So cheer loud for victory.
In our short time we try hard to keep
Our old spirit that's grown so deep.
With the grads of former years
For alma mater give three cheers! (Rah! Rah! Rah!)

Come Moncton High and answer the call;
We will try to lead the rest
So cheer loud for victory.
