Corona High School
The number of students attending Corona High School outgrew the first school built in 1907. The second high school, designed by Riverside architect G. Stanley Wilson in the Mission/Spanish Revival style, opened in 1923. The three buildings, the Main Building/Auditorium, the East Wing/Library and the Domestic Science Building, share unique unifying elements in the use of ornate low relief scroll-edged escutcheon castings related to education – Learning, Natural Sciences and Fine Art. When students moved to a third, larger school in 1960, the campus became Corona’s Civic Center and City Hall. In 2000, Corona Daily Independent Reader’s Choice voters named it Corona’s number one landmark. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
