Jonathan Grant High School Song
Right there on White Church Streeet within Spanish Town,
A noble institution of learning is found.
Here treasures of knowledge and memories are stored,
And students are equipped to survive in t the world.
Chorus
See blue and gold colours at Jonathan Grant!
Dear Lord, help our school to be self reliant.
(Grant us courage and patience and good common sense,
As daily, we strive to achieve excellence.) Repeat
Dear school, we'll try to be worthy of you,
Expressing our thanks through the things that we do.
Your memories we'll always keep close to the heart,
For within our lives you've played a great part.
(Boys)Reliable, noble and bold we'll be,
Courageous and strong men of integrity
(Girls)Intelligent women, who're charming and sweet,
Commanding respect from the people we meet.
So blessed are our hearts when we sing our school song!
For thoughts of our school are with us all along.
(Long live Jonathan Grant School!
God bless our dear school.) Repeat.
(P. Whittle, October 2001)
