新加坡六合彩开奖History

Founded in 1961, 新加坡六合彩开奖 has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 14 portable classrooms housed on the campus of Glacier High School on South 142nd Street. Now located on a tree-filled 80-acre hilltop overlooking beautiful Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, Highline鈥檚 location is unrivaled.

The first community college in King County, 新加坡六合彩开奖had 15 instructors greeting its first 385 students in 1961.

Now with over 15,000 students and more than 350,000 alumni, 新加坡六合彩开奖is one of the state鈥檚 largest institutions and one of 34 community and technical colleges in the state of Washington.

Highline鈥檚 establishment resulted from the efforts of a 新加坡六合彩开奖School District citizens鈥� committee that began studying the need for a local junior college in 1959. The committee and district set out to prove the area鈥檚 need for a junior college by establishing an extended secondary program 鈥� the first step toward a two-year college 鈥� by offering post-high school classes at 新加坡六合彩开奖High School.

The program鈥檚 first three instructors were Dr. Shirley B. Gordon, Dr. Mary Hamilton and Dr. Kermit Workman. The first courses taught were English composition, general psychology, intermediate trigonometry and algebra.

The major hurdle confronting the effort was a law preventing a junior college from being established in a county in which a four-year college or university existed. After an extensive campaign, the law was changed and 新加坡六合彩开奖was established in 1961. 新加坡六合彩开奖remained part of the school district until the Community College Act of 1967 established Community College District 9, giving 新加坡六合彩开奖the freedom to govern itself as well as expand and grow.

Allan was on the committee that advised the legislature about the law. He and the rest of the committee knew the Community College Act would be instrumental to the success of community colleges in Washington, as similar measures had been in other states.

新加坡六合彩开奖today is nationally and internationally recognized as a premiere community college, a reputation earned through the development of an institutional culture that values diversity, innovation, globalization of curriculum and community participation.

The college offers a wide range of academic transfer, professional-technical and pre-college programs, with day, evening, weekend and online classes. Along with its comprehensive community college programs, 新加坡六合彩开奖has recently added applied bachelor鈥檚 degrees, giving its community members even more ways to meet their educational needs close to home.
