The honors for presumably-retired Colton football coach Harold Strauss continue to pile up, as the legendary coach will be one of six to be honored by San Bernardino County Superintendent’s Office with an Education Medal of Honor for Distinguished Service Award at a ceremony on April 26 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Victorville.
“Considering that there are 20,000 people who are probably worthy of this honor, it’s humbling to hear my name called,” Strauss said. “I was humbled when (the Colton Unified School District) nominated me and I’m humbled right now.”
