The passion for glory is the torch to the mind
We of Peirce do pledge to achieve
Excellence, honour for our school
We dare to venture; forward we go
We know no obstacles along the way
Those who fall will rise again
And claim victory on another day
Let our ambitions be fulfilled
Let our minds be liberated
Let the flame of Peirce be ignited
