OHS School Song
Oconto High School,
Where good friendships
and good sports rule;
That's the thing we'll
always hold dear in our
memory lane;
This the refrain our
school's worthy name,
We'll go back years
hence, after we come
back from cities strange
and bold,
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
is for the Blue and Gold!
U RAH RAH OCONTO!
U RAH RAH OCONTO!
U RAH RAH OCONTO!
