Highland Junior High School's prep song was set to the tune of "Scotland the Brave"
Lyrics:
Hey all you lads and lassies
Root for the Highland laddies
We want the plaid and white team to win tonight—Rah! Rah! Rah! Strike up the band again; Let's raise the score again;
We are the team with the Pep and the Vim
You do your best my lads, we'll do the rest my lads
We'll root for you for a victory tonight RAH! RAH! RAH!
Come all you lads and lassies,
Root for the Highland Laddies.
We want the plaid and white team
To win tonight,
H-I-G-H-L-A-N-D, HIGHLAND, HIGHLAND, HIGHLAND

The Highlanders performed in full Scottish regalia, including kilts, plaids, and doublets. The Highlanders also had a bagpipe corps within their ranks, one of only a handful in United States high schools.
