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.
On February 1, 1952, the Yellowjacket Pom Pom girls unveiled new colorful uniforms.
The unveiling event took place at the pep rally before a basketball game against San Bernardino High. The theme for the rally was “Box Berdoo.”
The band played the school song, “Tho Berdoo,” as the girls made their initial appearance in their new outfit. The colors were the usual combination of gold corduroy with crimson trim.
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!
