[edit] Background

Serra Catholic was established in 1961 by the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor of the Province of the Immaculate Conception in New York City. The school moved into its current building in 1963 and is named after Bl. Junípero Serra. The school was originally all-boys, becoming coeducational in 1973.[2]

[edit] Alma mater

The youth of Serra proudly fly
From out this hallowed eagles’ nest.
Their colors wave forever high,
For God and country ever blest.
Amor a Dios ever be,
The star that guides their destiny,
All hail to Alma Mater, aye!
May she stand with all that’s best.
The junipers grow tall and strong,
On Haler Heights at Serra High.
The heart goes forth in joyful song,
And reaches out to God’s own sky.
The red and gold forever show,
Wherever Serra Scions go.
All hail to Alma Mater, aye!
Long may her name in glory lie.[3]
