We sing our song with joy and pride
To tell the world we do things right
Search ourselves to be true
Uphold the creed Hougeans learn in school
We learn the skills with grit and zeal
To stand the tests both tough and real
Urge ourselves to excel
Prepare for the future that none can tell
Chorus:
Respect ourselves, respect others
Thus, we develop noble characters
Work together for Singapore
Make the difference on any shore

HS 25th Anniversary Logo
In celebration of our school's 25th anniversary, student Jovan Low from class 3S (2025) composed "GREATest Stars". Performed and recorded in collaboration with teachers Mr Daniel Chong, Ms Caroline Tan and Mdm Hizah, this uplifting song speaks of our shared hopes and dreams, and is a musical token of our unwavering school spirit.
Our Silver Jubilee Homecoming was a heartwarming celebration that brought former principals, dedicated staff, and beloved alumni back to where their journeys began.
Everyone reignited their school spirit through thrilling floorball matches and basketball games, tested their knowledge in a school history Kahoot quiz, and unleashed their creativity at Makers' Garage with personalised tote bags and cups.
This video montage captures the joy, laughter, and connections that made our Silver Jubilee Homecoming an unforgettable experience. Together, we honour our past, celebrate our present, and look forward to an even brighter future!
