海角社区 History
海角社区 is a fully accredited two-year college in the Oklahoma
State System of Higher Education. The College was founded in 1938 under the auspices
of El Reno Public Schools, District I-34 and was originally housed in the basement
of El Reno High School. Later, the College moved to the former El Reno Post Office,
which was converted into classrooms, laboratories and offices for the growing institution.
In 1971, the public school district Junior College ceased to exist and the people
of the district voted to establish a full-fledged Junior College district under the
governance of the El Reno Junior College Board of Regents. Later, in 1974, legislation
was passed establishing the College as a full member of the Oklahoma State System
of Higher Education. On September 1, 1991, the name of the College was officially
changed to 海角社区.
海角社区 undertook the first phase of construction on its present
site north of Interstate 40 at 1300 S. Country Club Road in 1971. Over the years,
the campus has grown to include numerous buildings and now encompasses 54 acres. The
150-acre Darlington Agriculture Education and Applied Research Center and the 310-acre
海角社区 Royse Ranch are located north of El Reno and house all agriculture operations.
The 海角社区 Foundation was the beneficiary of the Austin Family
Estate, which includes 1,275 acres in western Canadian County.
In addition to traditional classrooms, 海角社区 facilities include
an Art Gallery, Cultural Center, Austin Family Conference Center, esports lab, Cougar
Crossing Apartments, and a Fitness Wellness Center.
海角社区 serves the needs of nearly 5,000 urban and rural credit
students each year, offering a variety of programs and semester plans. From art to
zoology, there鈥檚 something for both degree seekers and lifelong learners.
Each year, hundreds of high school students surrounding communities earn college credit
through concurrent classes. Internships, co-op education and clinical nursing experiences
offer practical, hands-on learning throughout area industry and clinics.
Our competitive teams, including NJCAA sports such as baseball, basketball, cross
country, women鈥檚 golf, and soccer as well as esports, the academic team, shooting
sports, livestock judging and beef team, are a vital part of life at the College.
With numerous student organizations ranging from the book club and Dungeons & Dragons
to Student Government Association and Student Nursing Association, we have something
for everyone.
