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:
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.
The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“A judge is not supposed to know anything about the facts of life until they have been presented in evidence and explained to him at least three times.”
—Parker, Lord Chief Justice (1900–1972)
