Colton High “Fact of the Day” – Nov. 14
Ms. Ina-Marie McCortney wore many hats as she served at CHS for 40 years, from 1945-1985. For many, though, she was an exceptional School Psychologist.
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.
Today’s fact of the day honors Ms. Ina-Marie McCortney. She was a Co-Coordinator of Counselors, School Psychologist, Girl’s P.E teacher, and Attendance Supervisor that worked at CHS from 1945 to 1985. Before CHS, she attended the University of Redlands.
As the one in charge of all absentees during the year, McCortney consulted with students and parents everyday, fixing absences and encouraging consistent attendance. Being the School Psychologist made her anxious to help and use her experience towards a more efficient attendance program overall.
Recently, the CHS Publications Department experienced a major theft as over $20,000 in photography equipment was stolen from our studio over Spring Break. This included all cameras. Any amount you donate will help rebuild our program. Thank you!
