Do you know the origin of our school song? Many school songs are copied from some other school or college song, but the words of the Sterling school song were composed by a former Sterling High School student. During the school term of 1930-31, Mrs. G.T. Neal, the piano teacher, offered a prize for the best song composed by a student. A senior, Vera Stamps, now Mrs. A.J. Nichols of Battle Creek, Michigan, won the prize with the words you now sing, and set them to a pan of John Philip Sousa’s STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER. We march down the aisle of fame; Eagles of Sterling High is our name. We're lads, lassies young and gay, True and loyal in every way. We offer our tribute and praise, And to our winning high school we raise Our colors of purple and gold. We are for you; we love you too, Dear Sterling High School
