Office of the President
As the Superintendent/President of Shasta College, I appreciate and congratulate you on your interest in attending Shasta College. For almost 75 years Shasta College has served the needs of our District with its outstanding educational and support programs. Whether your goal is to transfer to a four-year institution, complete a certificate that will lead to gainful employment, or simply gain new skills in your current employment, we strive to provide an environment that allows every student to feel welcome, included, but also challenged and supported—an environment in which every student can thrive and succeed.
Your success is our mission! Our student services staff stands ready, willing, and able to answer any questions to help you begin your educational journey. Our faculty members have your success in mind as they continually sharpen their skills and work to enhance your learning experiences in their classrooms and labs. Our entire team wants to help you achieve your educational goals, whether it be at our Redding, Tehama, Trinity, or Intermountain campus, or online.
I invite you to explore some of the many engagement opportunities that are available to you at Shasta College. This includes music and theater performances, over a dozen sports, various student clubs, and Student Senate. I encourage you to get involved in areas that interest you, as being involved in such activities only serves to enhance your educational experience and provides opportunities to connect with others and to practice and sharpen the skills you are learning in your courses.
Welcome! I wish you well as you join us here at Shasta College.
