Miner Traditions, Fight Song & Alma Mater

Decades of Miners have built enduring rituals that unite generations across athletic courts, stadium bleachers, graduation ceremonies, and alumni gatherings.

The Bingham High School Fight Song

Rousing and steadfast, the Bingham High Fight Song is sung with fervor at every football game, assembly, and athletic showdown:

Bingham sons and daughters, Like the mighty waters, Roll along to victory. Tides of Warriors greet us, With their teams to beat us, But we’ll fight for victory. Onward! Onward! Team against the foe, Forward! Forward! Our honored banners go. All our foes will tremble, As our teams assemble, ON, ON, ON, TO VICTORY! Hear the echoes ringing, Hear the students singing, 'Tis our song of victory. Colors flying o'er us, Blue and white before us, Lead us on to victory. Onward! Onward! Team against the foe, Forward! Forward! The Bingham Miners go. Bingham we are with you, And we’re here to cheer you, FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FOR VICTORY!

School Hymn & Alma Mater: "Dreams of Bingham High"

Performed at commencement exercises and solemn school assemblies, "Dreams of Bingham High" recalls the cherished moments and friendships forged during high school days.

Day is ending, night is blending, stars among the blue. Memories wonder while we ponder school days fond and true. As the golden sun sets in the west – We lay our dreams of Bingham High to rest. (Chorus) We'll always remember the blue and the white, And faces so tender and dear – We'll always remember the stars in the night, That shine on our campus so clear. We'll always remember the laughs and the smiles, And the struggles, the sorrows and tears. But though we may travel o'er many strange miles, We'll always remember in May and September – Bingham High as our happiest years.

Unique Miner Lore & Traditions

The Miner Pick-and-Shovel Gesture

During the singing of "Dreams of Bingham High", students and alumni stand with their arms crossed over their chests — one fist held as if gripping a miner's pick over the heart, and the other forearm crossed in the shape of a shovel — honoring Bingham's mining forebears.

The Symbolic Rock Drill

At the start of each school year, student leaders reenact a miner's quest for "pay dirt." Using a traditional miner's hard hat, double jack sledgehammer, and steel drill bit, they drill into an authentic piece of copper ore from Bingham Canyon.

The Victory Cauldron

Perched high near the stadium and adorned with giant block "B" emblems, the Bingham gas cauldron is ignited to signal Utah State Championship victories across the South Jordan community.

The Pay Dirt Club

Established in 1976 following the relocation to South Jordan, the Pay Dirt Club serves as Bingham High School's Hall of Fame, recognizing distinguished alumni in sports, government, arts, and industry.
