Historical note 1: Today's alma mater is not the original. In 1976, amid some dissatisfaction with the original alma mater, a contest was held to write a new one. Mark S. Schweitzer '76 won with the current lyrics. Brother Eugene Weisenberger, who taught music at Hoban at the time, set the lyrics to music. The text of the original alma mater follows.
Here on our hill with hearts so near the skies
Faithful until these rocks no longer rise
Over the town, this town from which we grew
Let each Knight through very fight, through win or loss
Touch that sky for Hoban High, for Holy Cross
Ever true, true to you
Historical note 2: The lyrics to the fight song were altered slightly in 1973, when the school became coeducational. The line "All cheer for Hoban High" was once "Men cheer for Hoban High."
