Description:
Valencia Community College is proof that great things can come from small beginnings. In fall of 1967 we began as Valencia Junior College in a few portable buildings on West Oakridge Road in Orlando.

Although the facilities weren't lofty, our goals were: we wanted to help our students become as successful as possible in their classes, their careers and their lives. Armed with a passion for teaching and a concern for the students, our small group of educators began to teach the increasing number of students coming to the campus. In 1971, we changed our name to Valencia Community College and moved to our first permanent location, the 180-acre West Campus located on South Kirkman Road.
