Beloved Surigao City Pilot School
Thy name we shall adore
Thy teachings we shall treasure
Our loyalty is without measure
The happy and wonderful days
When we study and play
Our pains and sorrows as well
Only our hearts can tell
The days come and the days go
Classmates, friends and teachers too
Classes will soon be over
But our school shall be forever
Our quest for knowledge is not yet through
So with thy light
We continue our plight
Long live the Pilot School
We shout with pride and joy
Thy banner we proudly fly
to the Pilot School
MABUHAY!
