From the trees upon the hilltops

To the valley down below

Shines the splendor of the glory that is ours

We're the students here assembled

With our voices raised on high

And the echo softly dies among the towers.

We sing praise of Mount Saint Dominic

The school we love so well

With her teaching, strength and beauty ever true

We will spend our lives upholding

The ideals she gave to us

Faithful ever to her principles we'll prove.

Through you Alma Mater we've found our way,

MSD.

Through you Alma Mater we'll win the day,

MSD.

Catholic leaders we will be

Mount Saint Dominic Academy

Pledge we always our loyalty.
