Class chants and yells have long been a tradition of high schools across the United States. Colton High is no different. Earliest chants are recorded as far back as 1915. Here one of the first:

All together! All together!

That’s the way we pull!

Crimson and Gold!

Crimson and Gold!

Not a thread of wool!

Sink or swim!

Live or die!

Yet we shout our battle cry!

H-O-O Ray Hoo Can!

C-O-L-T-O-N!

Colton – Rah!
