Lyrics: Yeah, I'm in public school, in the elementary I started in pre-school, where I learned my A-B-Cs I still remember, starting on the first day How I met some new friends, and I started to play Walking down the hall, in line we would stand If we wanted to talk in class, we raised our hand If you have a question, they don't even hesitate If you have a special need, they can accommodate Math Reading Science, Art Music, PE Personalize my learning, with an I.E.P. Para Professional, Principal Secretary Counselor custodian, they are extraordinary Character education, it is the master key That will unlock the grown up, I'm growing up to be I love my teachers, it's going by too fast for me I'll miss them all when I'm gone, cause soon I'm gonna leave Chorus Grade School, education where dreams are made from There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in Grade School They'll teach you things that are brand new teachers will inspire you Let's hear it for Grade School, Grade School, Grade School Everything starts to change, when you enter Middle School Who's dating who, everybody trying to be cool Bodies are changing, there are feelings to rebel Teachers teaching preteens, they deserve a Nobel Make a difference, has always been their aim They don't just make a spark, they ignite the flame Heroes in plain clothes, if the whole truth be known But not even Superman, could do this job alone It takes a community, teamwork and hard work but who's helping these kids, when they do their homework? The middle school years, are the most crucial in your life To be well rounded, electives are rife More than just your core classes, Reading, Science and Math With foreign language, drama, band, you choose your own path Emotional support, and ascending confidence Learning who I am, I'm thankful for the guidance in Chorus Middle School, education where dreams are made from There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in Middle School They'll teach you things that are brand new Teachers will inspire you Let's hear it for Middle School, Middle School No longer boys and girls, growing into men and women Still acting juvenile, every now and then The futures on your doorstep, 4 years to graduate That plan for the future? It's now time to actuate I trust the teachers, dedicated to serve Leadership patience, that's what I observe That passion to give, it comes from their core A challenge to be more, knowledge seeping out their pores Cheering our success, trained to be the best Judged by our scores, forced to teach to the test A teachers job description, is not well defined 30 kids in one class, and no child left behind I'm not here to inflame, shame but to proclaim If national scores are low, school teachers aint to blame With diploma in hand, your dreams are within reach Stay in school and learn, from those who were called to teach Chorus High School, education where dreams are made from There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in High School They'll teach you things that are brand new Teacher will inspire you To graduate High School, High School, High School
