Sacramento City College (SCC) is a two-year community college located in Sacramento, California, USA . SCC is part of the Los Rios Community College District and had enrollment of 22,197 for the Spring 2008 semester. It is located at the intersection of Freeport Boulevard (Highway 160) and Sutterville Road in South Sacramento.
Founded in 1916 as a department of Sacramento High School, Sacramento City College is the seventh oldest public community college in California and the oldest institution of higher learning in Sacramento.
In 1922, the citizens of Sacramento organized a junior college district by severing the connections between the college and Sacramento High School. This plan of organization remained in force until 1936 when the college became a part of the Sacramento City Unified School District.
Twenty-eight years later, as a result of a March 17 1964 election, Sacramento City College separated from the Sacramento City Unified School District to join the newly organized Los Rios Junior College District which took over the operation of American River College and Sacramento City College. Los Rios paid the total of $1.00 for the 75 acre Sacramento City College Campus. In October 1967, the Sacramento Pop Festival was held at the main campus's Charles C. Hughes Stadium. In 1970 the newly renamed Los Rios Community College District opened a third campus, Cosumnes River College. Folsom Lake College has recently been added to the district.
The Sacramento City College yearbook was called the Pioneer when initially published in the 1920s. The format changed in the early 1970s, and it was discontinued by 1980. The school newspaper--originally named "the Blotter" in the 1920s-- would be called "The Pony Express" for several decades. It is now called "The Express."
