In 1907, the California Legislature provided for the establishment of regional junior colleges, permitting the extension of the courses in the high schools to cover the freshman and sophomore years in state universities. By 1909, the Santa Barbara High School district provided classrooms and instructors at its site for this purpose. Santa Barbara City College dates its founding to this landmark year when the first junior college courses were offered.
SBCC will close its year-long Centennial celebration at Commencement in May 2010 with the issue of a special commemorative book highlighting the College’s 100-year history and significant educational role in the community and the state.
