Colton High School opened in 1895. It is one of the oldest high schools in the Inland Empire. In this daily feature, we celebrate Colton High’s rich history.
The entire community came out for the Colton Homecoming Parade on September 27, 2013. They lined the streets as vendors sold concessions. The Homecoming court picked their convertible rides, the band marched, and Colton pride swelled.
That night, the Yellowjackets faced off against San Gorgonio for a non league Homecoming match-up, but fell short in a hotly contested game, 42-39. Junior Deandre Graham ran for 207 yards including an electric 79-yard touchdown run.
At halftime, Katya Dominguez was crowned Homecoming Queen. At the Homecoming Dance the following night, Andres Alcaraz joined her in the spotlight as that year’s Homecoming King.
