Colton High “Fact of the Day” – Mar. 4
The Jog-A-Thon was a fundraiser event for sports and organizations at CHS. Here, senior Doug Elsmore runs around the track to raise money for the Cross-Country team.
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 November 3, 1981, ASB sponsored the second annual Jog-A-Thon. People who participated were allowed one hour to run, jog, or walk the 400 yard track as many times as they could to earn money for any school sport, club, or organization. Money was earned through people who were happy to fund money for each lap a person ran.
Math instructor and cross-country coach Frank Miller completed the most laps with a count of 37 laps in total.
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!
