School Song
Moving From Good To Great
The time has come for us to reach out for our dreams.
If we believe, we can achieve.
We all will succeed.
Oxmoor Valley, this is your day.
You know you'll lead us into a brand-new way.
We vow nothing will stop us now, because we're moving from good to great.
There is no failure. Moving from good to great.
OVE we treasure. Moving from good to great.
I can look ahead and see, great things for you and me.
We stand tall, above it all, with courage, pride and strength.
Oxmoor Valley this is your day.
You know you'll lead us into a brand-new way.
We vow nothing will stop us now, because we're moving from good to great.
There is no failure. Moving from good to great.
OVE we treasure.
Moving from good to great!
