Gilman School Song

Oh Gilman Oh Gilman

To you we will be true

Our loyalty and honor

Are to the Grey and Blue

You build up our minds

Our hearts and spirits too

Forever our Gilman

We pledge ourselves to you

We're forging ahead

And reaching far beyond

With Gilman our strength

And brotherhood our bond

When we leave these walls

With memories we hold dear

It's Gilman's proud echoes

That in our hearts we'll hear
