Information About

Seattle Community College District




The district's origins can be traced to 1902 , with the opening of Broadway High School on Capitol Hill . It operated as a traditional High School until the end of World War II , when it was converted to a Vocational and Adult Education institution for the benefit of veterans who wanted to finish high school but no longer fit in at regular schools. As a result, in 1946 , Broadway High School was renamed Edison Technical School. Edison started offering college-level courses 21 years later, and it was reconstituted as Seattle Community College in September 1966 .

North Seattle Community College and South Seattle Community College opened their doors in 1970 , whereupon Seattle Community College was renamed Seattle Central Community College.

Seattle Central Community College was named Time magazine's Community College of the Year in 2001 .
