Alma Mater

From the fields of the lower valley

To the slopes of Mt. Franklin's crest

The Black and Gold of Parkland

Reflects El Paso's Best.

We will always pledge alliance

To the Matadors so bold

And we'll fight for the fame and glory

For Parkland's Black and Gold.

We'll shout the world our story

Of the Black and Gold on high

And fill the streets of glory

From the halls of Parkland High.

School song was written by Jack J. Almack and dedicated to Mr. Shirley, Choir Director, and the Parkland HS Choir on September 15, 1963

Fight Song

To be a Matador is glorious,
To wear the black and gold is great
Yes, we will do our best to beat the rest
And to fight for victory

To be a Matador is glorious
We will always be victorious
Because we are the "Twelfth Man"
Victorious Parkland is our name!
