School Song

At Thy Call

Words & Music by Alumnae: Margaret Whitehead, '34 & Martha Donelan, '34

At thy call dear Seton,

We'll respond in song.

Let our voices echo,

Let the sound prolong.

Students here assembled,

Singing fervent praise.

With bursting zeal our voices peal,

We're loyal daughters always.

CHORUS:

All hail to Seton,

Far reach your fame.

We hail thee Seton,

Great is your name.

Here's to your might. Here's to your light.

Here's green and white throughout the ages.

Our challenge defies history's pages.

for you today in every way,

Our Alma Mater forever.

We will bear your standards,

Up the paths of life.

Strenghtened by your virtues,

We'll resist the strife.

When our song is silenced,

By the passing days.

We still shall stand, a mighty band,

We'll be Setonians always.

CHORUS

The Seton Crest
Like Seton High School, its crest has a rich and storied past. The crosses are from the crest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, and the plowshare represents the City of Cincinnati named after the Society of Cincinnati from Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer who became the famous general of Rome.

The cedar tree symbolizes Cedar Grove, the popular name of the academy established on this site in 1857. The school was renamed Seton High School in 1928.

The wavy bars suggest the Ohio River and the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity at Mount St. Joseph-on-the-Ohio.

The three crescents are derived from the Seton Family Coat of Arms.

Seton's motto is "Hazard Yet Forward".
