Inang Paaralan, gabay ng aming diwa
Dunong mong dulot hindi malilimutan
Dahil sa'yo ay nagkakulay umakay ng
Tapat sa pagngiti sa bagong umaga...

Chorus:

N.C.S.T. Pangako ko'y hindi malilimutan
Kahit saan pangalan mo'y laging iingatan
Na tulad mong Mapagmahal, Makatao't Makabayan
Higit sa lahat MakaDiyos, Makakalikasan.

Inang paaralan, gabay ng kabataan
Hangad mo para sa'min magandang kinabukasan
Abot tanaw na ang aming tagumpay
Ika'y paaralang nagsisilbing tanglaw...

Coda:

N.C.S.T. Mahal kong paaralan
N.C.S.T. Magpakailan pa man...
