Let us strive with heart and song
For the school, our love, our second home
Let us strive with words and deeds
For the school a name to carve where we roam.

In years to come with love and pride
We’ll recall the school we are so fond
For Woodsville our best endeavour
Woodsville our Alma Mater
Be remembered forever and long.
