Manor Senior High School ~ "Student Chant"

Please review our school chant with your child, and encourage them to recite it every morning!



“I AM SOMEBODY!”


Inspired by Rita Pierson & Les Brown


I AM SOMEBODY!


I was somebody when I came

I will be a better somebody when I leave

I deserve the education that I get here

I have things to do...people to impress...and places to go

I know what I want in life and I will do whatever it takes to get it

I will never allow other people’s opinions of me to become my reality


I AM SOMEBODY!


I will "Make An I.M.P.A.C.T."

I will live my dream because...

I deserve to live my dream

I am powerful


I am “Manor ISD Strong”


I AM SOMEBODY!

"Keys for Success": Make An I.M.P.A.C.T.
