Dominican Commercial High School is a former Catholic High School in Jamaica, Queens, New York City.[1] An all-girls school,[2] it was located at 161-06 89th Avenue.[3] The school first opened in 1936, and moved to its new building on 161st and 89th Avenue in 1938 (leaving the previous building to be converted into a convent).[4][5] The school closed in 1998.[1][6] The building later became Wellington Hall, an education facility for Association for the Advancement of the Blind and Retarded (now known as Intellectually Disabled).[3]
As of 1941, Dominican Commercial was one of the two largest parochial schools in Jamaica, along with the Mary Louis Academy.[7] Dominican Commercial focused on preparing students for careers directly out of high school.[8] The school was initially not focused on college preparation.[9]
