School Anthem and Crest.

The lyrics of our school song and the meaning behind the symbols on our official shield of Mbale High School.

The School Anthem

Verse 1 Arise, O children of Eastern slopes,
With hearts ablaze and rising hopes.
Under Elgon peak we stand as one,
Our journey of excellence has begun.

Chorus Mbale High School, our shining light,
Guiding our steps into the bright.
Whatever we do, in work or play,
We do it well, day by day!

Verse 2 With head to think, and hand to build,
With hearts with moral values filled.
To serve our land with honor true,
Mbale High we sing to you.
