Taken from Wikipedia, "CHS was the first high school in the area, established in 1894 when high school students met in the upper floor of the Corona Grammar school located in what now is called Victoria Park. The second Corona High School was built at 1230 S. Main Street, the current location of Corona Fundamental Intermediate School. This location opened as Corona High School in 1907. By the early twenties, the town out grew this campus and a third Corona High School location was needed. It opened in 1923 and was constructed, in the Mediterranean Revival style, at 815 West Sixth Street. This campus was designed by G. Stanley Wilson, an architect from Riverside, California, who had also designed parts of the Mission Inn. This campus remained in use as a high school until December 1960, when once again, the number of students exceeded its capacity After the high school moved from its third campus, the campus became Corona's Civic Center and City Hall. This third high school building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The high school was relocated to 1150 West Tenth Street during the 1960–61 school year to accommodate a rapidly growing number of students wishing to attend. There were no graduates in 1897.{{citation From One Room ISBN 978-0-615-88887-3}"
