Fight Song

To Romulus High I pledge my loyalty
For it's the ideal place for school, you see.
And when I leave these portals far behind,
The memories will ever linger in my mind.
When high school days are naught but memories,
Of Romulus High, I'll have sweet reveries.
It stands for fair play, square play all the time, all is fine at
Romulus High!
FIGHT!

Odyssey Controversy

[11.30.06]

There is speculation that Odyssey (study hall) will be taken away due to the lack of use of students. Some say it will end December 1, 2006. Others say it will take effect at the end of the semester. The Administration has failed to inform the students of any change, although the teachers have hinted at it.

Odyssey has been limited now. students now take odyssey during second hour.

Odyssey Controversy Resolved

On December 1, 2006, the teachers of Romulus High received a memo that stated Odyssey would be integrated into the students' second hour. Second hour will end at 9:09 am and begin Odyssey, with no break in between.
