School Song

 

I leave you love, I leave you hope

And a thirst for education

I leave you faith and racial dignity

I leave you a desire to live harmoniously

With your fellow man and a responsibility

I’m a Bethunite, I’m special

And I take pride in myself

I have compassion and for others have respect

We are Bethunites, We strive for Excellence

In thought and word and deed

So that we many live the meaning of our creed,

So that we may live the meaning of our creed.
