Facts
Colton-Pierrepont has recently upgraded its facilities by building a new gymnasium, library, lobby, and band room as well as touching up its older parts. The facilities are now in good condition. A new school sign was generously donated by the Colton-Pierrepont Teachers' Association.
Colton is within 15 miles of four colleges: St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, SUNY Canton, and SUNY Potsdam. All of them have offered out-of-school activities for students at Colton.
Important trips are the Foreign Language Club trip, the Senior Trip, and Project Adventure for 7th graders.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:
“A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
