Hi! I’m Rosie Dominguez! I’m a freshman at Macaulay Honors College, and I hope you get to learn a lot about Corona, Queens through this site! I worked on the “Educational Institutions” page under “The Places” of Corona. I researched statistics of all of the schools, some background on the schools, and even how the schools are graded! It’s pretty cool to be able to compare the schools to each other as well as be able to get an idea of education in Corona. I also uploaded a handful of pictures to the “Picture Tour” that I took during my time in Corona. Enjoy!
About this Site
This semester, Macaulay Honors students in Professor Vellon's "Peopling of New York" course studied Corona, Queens, one of the world's most diverse neighborhoods.
The students read ethnographic and historical works about the area, took a walking tour and returned to the neighborhood to take pictures, speak to local residents and learn more about the neighborhoods history, institutions, and everyday life.
This website is the final product of this research. It is meant to share some of Corona's history, through its changing food traditions, changing demographics, and changing religious, cultural and recreational institutions and to serve as a guide to contemporary Corona, mapping many of the community resources.
Have a look around!
