On October 8, Pierce High School’s south gym officially became the Natalie Corona Gymnasium during a home volleyball game. Natalie’s family, friends, co-workers, teammates and community gathered together to share in this special event. Pictures of Natalie were continuously being projected during the volleyball games. The ceremony consisted of memories of Natalie being shared by her friend and teammate, Mariah Diaz, her coach Kim Travis who shared quotes from all other coaches who had the privilege to coach Natalie over the years, and school board president, Nadine High who shared Natalie’s senior yearbook quote and the many activities that she was involved in during high school. Natalie’s number 11 jersey was also retired during the ceremony. Officers from the Davis Police Department participated in the formal unveiling of the new signage in the gym. Bold blue block letters on the outside of the gymnasium proudly mark the building for students and visitors as it serves as a reminder of the outstanding character and service of this beautiful young woman whose End of Watch came 1-10-19. She will always be remembered at Pierce High School.
