School Spirit & Traditions
SuperFans
The Northridge “fighting spirit” is best displayed in our student section at many home soccer matches and at every home basketball game. Our student section is affectionately known as “The SuperFans!” And that, they are! The student section features a creative theme for each game. Come to a home basketball game and see for yourself – you will inevitably “catch the enthusiasm!”
Pep Band
Northridge’s pep band is among the best anywhere in the Chicago area. They are led by our excellent Music Department Director, Mr. John Riccobono, and play at all home basketball games.
Portillos after the game
Win or lose, after home basketball games especially - and also after some soccer and baseball games - many students, families, friends and girls from our sister school, Willows Academy, will head over to Portillos to hang out. It's a great social atmosphere and everyone is welcome.
Fight Song
The Northridge fight song was composed in 2006 by the school’s chaplain at the time, Fr. Francis “Rocky” Hoffman. The school fight song is an integral part of the esprit de corps at Northridge.
Northridge Fight Song
We’re going out to do our best today!
We’re gonna play with all our might!
When we win, we win as a team.
When we’re down, we’re gonna, fight, fight, fight!
We will be loyal, brave and true!
Ours will be vic- tor – y!
Together we will win!
Together we will fight!
We are the Northridge Knights!
U-rah-rah-rah North-ridge Knights!
U-rah-rah-rah North-ridge Knights!
Alma Mater
Northridge’s alma mater was composed in 2011 by Mr. Peter Searby ‘95.
Northridge Alma Mater
Oh, Northridge lead us on the way.
Give us the light when dark is day.
Teach us the truth and guard us from wrong.
Make your knights faithful, brave, and strong.
Oh, Northridge we will fight for thee
Out on the fields of victory.
And though in battle brothers may fall,
We will be loyal one and all.
Oh, Northridge send us far and wide,
Into the world to brave the tide.
Souls of adventure longing to see,
We are the knights, the brave and free.
