Bay High School's Alma Mater was written in 1926 when the school was located at the city's border. Now the city has grown and Bay High is no longer near the border.
Alma Mater:
On our city’s northern border,
Reared against the sky,
Proudly stands our Alma Mater,
As the years roll by,
"Forward Ever" be our watchword;
"Conquer and Prevail",
Hail to Thee our Alma Mater, Hail, Bay High, all Hail!
