If we live to be a hundred,
If today we die,
If we go away forever,
We'll not say goodbye.
Time someday will wash away
Like sands into the sea,
But there beneath the flowing tide
Lie our memories.
If we hear the west-wind calling
Our name with a sigh,
We'll be there with hope & promise
And our spirits high.
Time will cease, and life will leave,
But Harlingen South won't die
For in our hearts she'll live forever,
We'll not say goodbye.
On wings of victory, we
Fly proudly lifted by the
Spirit of the mighty Hawk.
Hear our battle cry,
South! Fight! Win!
Led by our ensign boldly,
We enter battle, so we
Lift our banner to the sky
And shout our battle cry,
South! Fight! Win!
Homecoming week is full of tradition at HHSS. The week is designated spirit week with each day allowing the students to dress in a certain fashion not normally acceptable by rule (e.i. Western day, Orange out day, etc.). On the Thursday night prior to the game on Friday, the school holds an annual homecoming parade and bonfire. The event starts with a parade down Dixieland Road featuring floats which representatives from participating clubs ride on. The parade is followed by a special homecoming pep rally. The night concludes with the traditional Burning of the "HS" by the Harlingen South FFA. A large steel "HS" is wrapped in cloth set up in a field near the school and set on fire. The Burning of the "HS" closely resembles the Burning of the "H" homecoming tradition at cross town rival Harlingen High School. Harlingen South broke off from Harlingen High in 1993.
