School Songs

In the past, schools had two songs, one to symbolize loyalty and one for school spirit. In 1935 two faculty members, Hans von Holwede and Cornelia Roberts, wrote the loyalty song (below).

Hans von Holwede also wrote the original fight song, which was used until 1971:

Fighting Sequoits

We’re the fight, fight, fighting Sequoits
We’re the Cardinal and the Gray
We’re the fight, fight, fighting Sequoits
From Antioch High, hurray!
We’ll fight opponents just for fun
And scalp our victims one by one
We’re the fight, fight, fighting Sequoits
We’re the Cardinal and the Gray

Since 1971 the University of Wisconsin fight song music has been used, with the lyrics edited to include the ACHS nickname and school colors. Click the start button to hear the music:

Current Fight Song

On you Sequoits, On you Sequoits!
Come on team let’s go!
And we’ll bring home vic-to-ry for,
The team we love to show!
Uh-Rah-Rah!
We’re right for you. We’ll fight for you,
To protect your name.
So on Sequoits, on to vic-to-ry and to fame.

Go Sequoits! Go!
Fight Sequoits! Fight!
Win! Win! Win!

Go on Sequoits! Fight you Sequoits!
Win for Antioch High!
We will bring home victories for the cardinal and the gray!
Uh-Rah-Rah!
Go you Sequoits! Score a victory!
Win you Sequoits! Win!
Fight! Fight for victory
