2023 CNUSD Legacy Award Recipient: Mr. Jose Niño

2023 CNUSD Legacy Award Recipient, Mr. Jose Niño

Mr. Jose Niño, former Corona High School Photography Teacher and Tennis Coach was the recipient of the 2023 CNUSD Legacy Award.

When we talk about leaving a Legacy in CNUSD, we think of those who have left a lasting impact on their students, their peers, and the community. This year's Legacy Award winner is someone whose career spanned 48 years as a Corona High Panther.

He taught Spanish and photography and was the head tennis coach for decades. He is a first-generation American who did everything within his power to remove barriers for students, from loaning them cameras to re-stringing their tennis racquets in his spare time to ensure nothing stood in their way for success. Mr. Jose Niño taught students to capture the beauty of the world around them through the lens of a camera, and that LOVE might mean zero on the tennis court, but it should carry you throughout the rest of your life.
