Colton High “Fact of the Day” – Apr. 7
Tom Thomas slides into home, beating the tag by the Notre Dame catcher. Yellowjackets won 19-4.
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 April 12, 1973, the Colton High varsity baseball team played their first ever home night game with the installation of outdoor lights. In addition, the team also introduced their new dugouts, which were paid for by the team after doing hours of fundraising.
The team would begin the season winning five of their first six games.
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!
