The school’s first principal was Fred Heisner. The school later became an elementary school after the opening of Colton Mid- dle School in the 1950s. Wilson counts amongst its alumni many of today’s notable community leaders, mentors and educators, including CSUSB Dean Emeritus Dr. Ernie Garcia, former Crafton Hills College President Dr. Louis Gomez, for- mer CSUSB Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Dr. Tom Rivera, Danny Martinez who taught math at Cal State Long Beach, and many others. Today, many of these alumni are part of the Wilson Alumni Association who regularly hold scholarship fundraising dances and events. The keynote speaker for the event was Dr. Louis Gomez, a re- tired educator who taught at San Bernardino Valley College for many years and served as presi- dent at Crafton Hills College. During his address Gomez shared his memories of attending Wilson Middle School as a young man, including how the school looked as well as memories of his teachers. And being from South Colton, college wasn’t something that was always talked about but he shared how his teachers in- spired him to want to go to col- lege. For their part, the students were very attentive, engaged, re- ceptive and open to what Gomez had to say. “The keynote address was for them,” said Wilson Principal Ernesto Calles, who added that he hopes that the students remember the event fondly as a day when their community and board mem- bers took time out of their day to be with them and support them in their education. “I hope it will propel them to do great things,” he said. The event also brought together most of the Colton Joint Unified School District Board members who came to celebrate and sup- port the students. One of those board members is lifetime Colton resident and Colton High alumnus Dan Flores, who did not attend Wilson but knows the school quite well. “Wilson is an icon in Colton. Most of us have ties to South Colton and that means we’re also connected to Wilson,” said Flores, whose father, aunts and uncles at- tended Wilson Elementary. “It’s incredible to meet alumni from the 60s who still talk about their love of the school and its impor- tance in the community.” In honor of the anniversary, Calles purchased special com- memorative t-shirts for teachers and the school will be planning several 75th anniversary events throughout the year. Apart from these events, the school will also be holding their usual events, in- cluding a fall festival and a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Parents or community members who would like to help out for these and other events through time, talents or other resources, are encouraged to do so.

Both the varsity and junior var- sity teams attended camp and Mo- rones, a San Gorgonio High 2009 graduate and CSUSB 2013 gradu- ate with a mind and passion for cheer, attributes the team’s suc- cess to their own self-driven mo- tivation to succeed. The girls take it upon themselves to practice on their own, even on days when Morones, who has been their coach for two years, has to cancel due to illness. They practice four days a week for three and a half hours and one day of tumbling every week. “When I was a cheerleader and practice was canceled it was a break,” she said recalling her own cheerleading days at San G. “But not these girls. They never miss practice.” And camp itself, as fun as it was, also had its challenges. After a five and a half our bus ride there, the girls often walked as much as two miles one way, several times a day, from their lodging to the sports complex for practice. But that didn’t stop or slow them down from the competition. The girls took home the following awards: JV Superior, Varsity Su- perior, Herkie Award for both JV and Varsity, voted on by staff for the all around American cheer team who is spirited and has all aspects of a great team and the Megaphone Award. The Varsity team took home first place fir their cheer and chant as well as the most technical stunt award. Both Varsity and JV took home a spirit stick, 13 girls were nomi- nated to try out for the All-Amer- ican team and both Varsity and JV took home a bid to nationals in Texas.Apart from the numerous team awards they received, Team Captain Danielle Ayala was also the recipient of the camp’s Cap- tains Award, the only such award given out of dozens of team cap- tains. Morones says that now she and assistant cheer coach is Wendy Lofton will be working on build- ing up a solid team with a very strong spirit of family, as well as focusing on future competition preparation and of course, sup- porting the Bruins football team on a regular basis. “I’m so proud of them,” Mo- rones said about the team.
