It now hosts grades 7–12, with 80 students enrolled on average.[citation needed]
Hail to alma mater hail,
Never will our loyalties fail,
Hardships and studies,
Laughter and buddies,
Make us one,
Never will the memories die,
Through the years of days by,
We will be true forever,
To Parkersburg Catholic High.[citation needed]
