JCC School Song: Thunderbirds Fly
Written by Dan Kettelhake & Nathan Morrissey
Here's to the new, here's to the old.
Here's to the red, the black, and the gold.
Flying beneath the red, white, and blue.
Proudly display our colors bright and true.
United as one T-Birds will fly.
Sing our affection to ol' central high.
Loyal to her year after year.
Crying the Thunderbird vic'try cheer.
JCCHS, Thunderbirds, Thunderbirds, GO GO GO!
