East Greer Elementary
Established 1927 With the Merger of
Dunbar and Victor Mill Schools
East Greer School Song
Written by East Greer Fifth Graders
Music Composed by John English
Soaring on the blue horizon,
Up above the clouds so high,
Swiftly glides the noble eagle,
Sharing dreams that touch the sky,
Nestled in the fertile piedmont,
Blue Ridge mountain majesty.
East Greer School, a place for learning,
Where dreams come to you and me.
Values that have been instilled
Will guide us through all the years.
To you this song is dedicated;
Help us conquer all our fears.
Dunbar Court, we used to call you,
Sometime in your early years.
We love you, East Greer Elementary;
Help us conquer all our fears.
Soaring on the blue horizon,
Up above the clouds so high.
Swiftly glides the noble eagle,
Sharing dreams that touch the sky.
East Greer School, we bid farewell.
The time has come to say good-bye.
Doors will close, but hearts will open.
Dreams fulfilled have reached the sky.
