Corona High School - A Tradition of Excellence Since 1896
Panther Families
As we near the end of the year and continue to celebrate the successes of our students, I'd like to take this opportunity to recognize our fallen men and women of the military that have made it possible for us to enjoy our freedom today. It is fitting that this past week on May 22nd we held our annual Veterans Celebration and had 64 veterans speak to our juniors about their experiences in shaping our nation's history...and the world's. Thank you as well to all our veterans and to the 23 Corona High School Class of 2019 graduates that have made a commitment to join our military.
Directly below you will find a list of Corona High School Panthers that made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War. Thank you to the Corona History Association for providing me with this information.
PHONE UPDATE: We recently had a new phone system installed that eliminated many of our old office lines, so if you've tried to call some of them directly you would have noticed that the call does not get answered. If you must contact one of our school/offices, please use only our direct line, 951-736-3211, and follow the prompts. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Respectfully,
Antonio Gonzalez, Ed.D.

Panthers' Recognition
Senior Awards Night
AVID Senior Banquet
AVID held its Annual Senior Banquet on May 21st in the Star Room where our 60 seniors were recognized for their years in AVID and each had the opportunity to give a short speech to thank those who were most influential in their success. The vast majority of these seniors are first generation college-attendees and attribute their success to the support our AVID team has provided. Thank you to our AVID teachers and congratulations to our seniors for their accomplishments! We even have one AVID senior who is forgoing college to serve in the Marines...Vanessa Simental (first picture below). The banquet happened to fall on Mrs. Angela Burke's (co-coordinator and senior teacher) birthday, so the students all sang Happy Birthday to her, adding a nice touch to the evening.

Special Forces Day
Veterans Celebration
We hosted our 7th annual Veterans Celebration in our Fieldhouse on May 22nd to honor our veterans and giving our juniors a rare and amazing opportunity to learn about the history of our wars and military by those who actually lived it. Every year we've had veterans from all our major wars since World War II (including Pearl Harbor survivors) and it is truly a fascinating experience to interact with our veterans. This is made possible by the efforts of our US History teachers in organizing this event. Below are a few random pictures from the celebration.

Alumni News
Jess Hill Stadium
- At May 7th's CNUSD Board Meeting, the board voted unanimously to approve our proposal to rename Panther Stadium to Jess Hill Stadium. Jess Hill was a member of the Corona High School Class of 1925 and accomplished many milestones for Corona High School, the University of Southern California, and even served in the Navy during World War II. We will be conducting our official name changing ceremony at one of our home football games in the fall of 2019.
- Riverside Sport Hall of Fame (https://www.riversidesporthalloffame.com/jess-hill/): "Scholar….all-around Athlete.…successful Coach.…revered Legend. Before becoming a legend at USC, Jess Hill was an area legend, playing five sports at Corona High School and excelling at four sports at Riverside Community College. Jess was known at USC as “Mr. Trojan”. Beginning as a track competitor at USC, he set a record of 25’ 7/8” in the long jump. In football, he played on Troy’s 1928 National Championship team and in the Rose Bowl in 1930. He batted .389 for the Trojans in baseball and led the conference in hitting. Jess went on to play in the Major Leagues for the Yankees, Senators, and Athletics for nearly a decade after college. During the off season he coached at Corona High School and Riverside Junior College. Returning to USC after four years in the Navy during WWII, Jess was hired as the track coach. For two years, his squads were undefeated and won the NCAA Championship both years. From 1951-56 Jess was USC’s football coach and led his team to a Rose Bowl Championship in 1953. He became the Athletic Director in 1957 and held the position until 1972. During his tenure, USC won 29 NCAA titles, a U.S College record that has remained untouchable. Jess was named the Athletic Director of the Decade in 1967, and received the prestigious Corbett Award from the National Association of Coaches and Athletic Directors in 1972. He passed away on August 31, 1993 at the wonderful age of eighty-six. Jess Hill was truly a Riversider and Trojan of Excellence."
- In the second picture below from left to right are Don Williamson (Corona Class of 1972), me, Jim Pauly (Corona Class of 1945), and Jeff Stevens at the Corona History Association celebration where some knew Jess Hill or have family members that either knew or have worked with him in some capacity.

National Mental Health Month
- May is National Mental Health Month. It is a time when many organizations and groups strive to raise awareness of the struggles faced by those with mental health conditions. Because of the stigma, far too many people avoid asking for help with mental health problems, and the consequences of lack of treatment can be severe. The only way to remove the stigma is to take action to change society’s perceptions of people who are diagnosed with mental health conditions. What is Mental health? https://up2sd.org/mental-health-month/
Riverside University Health System – Behavioral Health will conduct community events and engage in community outreach to raise awareness and reduce stigma about mental health as part of Riverside County’s month-long observance of May is Mental Health Month. This national awareness campaign began in 1949 to promote a greater understanding of mental health and to support the wellness and recovery of those living with mental illness. https://www.rcdmh.org/mimhm
