Victor Valley College – Fact Book 2004
Our Community, Our Students,
Our Staff – Our Future
Descriptive Background
Clean air, sunny days and clear, star-studded nights complement the unusual, natural beauty of
the High Desert, which is the home of Victor Valley College. Around the campus is a landscape ringed
with nearby mountains and Joshua trees, featuring spectacular explosions of beautiful desert wild
flowers in the spring.
Victor Valley College is one of the most modern of the 109 community colleges in California.
For more than 40 years, the history of the college has been entwined with the rich heritage and history of
the High Desert and its people.
Located approximately 90 miles north of Los Angeles and 195 miles southeast of Las Vegas
along interstate 15, Victor Valley College serves one of the largest geographical areas in the state and
one first settled more than a hundred years ago by California gold miners, trappers, ranchers, merchants
and railroad men.
Within the Inland Empire, the boundaries of the Victor Valley Community College District
include an area of some 2,200 square miles drawing students from Adelanto, Apple Valley, Victorville,
Helendale, Hesperia, Lucerne Valley, Oro Grande, Phelan, Piñon Hills, and Wrightwood (see Figure 1).

Victor Valley College – Fact Book 2004
Victorville itself, site of the college and the commercial hub of the High Desert area, was
originally a trading post. Victorville’s first European inhabitants were merchants who provided a stream
of railroaders, farmers and miners with the necessities of life such as ammunition, postal service and
provisions.
Victor Valley College has at its core the fundamental elements and history of the California
community college movement, which began around 1910.
The Victor Valley Community College District was created by a vote of the public in 1960,
when voters enthusiastically approved the creation of a new community college district to educate local
students.
The first classes at the college were held in 1961 on the campus of Victor Valley High School
and included a small student body of only 500 students and a 15-member faculty and staff. Construction
began in 1963 on the present campus, which encompasses 253 acres.
In 1965, the new Victor Valley College campus opened its doors to students. An expanded
technical complex followed in 1979. In 1981, the Performing Arts Center was opened for the use of
students and the High Desert community. In addition, a new Allied Health Building opened in 1983, in
1988 the Student Services Building was completed, and in 1991 the college campus became part of the
city of Victorville.
In the mid 1990s, the campus experienced additional growth when the following projects were
completed: new gymnasium, science building, library, construction technology building, additional
parking lots, tennis courts, a student activities center, and an elevator connecting the lower and upper
campus, which is separated by a 50ft. elevation difference. The old library was remodeled into an
academic commons, housing a learning center for tutoring, Business Education Technology (BET),
Computer Information Services (CIS) laboratories, and faculty offices. Two former classroom buildings
have been remodeled and transformed into student services buildings providing improved access and
convenience. Construction of a new Child Development Center was completed in 2002 and shortly after
new soccer fields were available for play. An aerial view of the college campus in 2003 is depicted in
Figure 2.
On the horizon are a major classroom building with over 900 computer-learning stations, a
dramatic arts/speech addition to the Performing Arts Center, and new softball fields.
Demographic Information (In brief)
A campus that once served 500 students in 1961, now serves nearly 11,000 credit students each
term. These students take advantage of what this institution has to offer enrolling in comprehensive
educational programs in a wide number of academic, vocational and community service areas.
The students at Victor Valley College reflect the diversity of the surrounding community.
Between Fall 1999 and Fall 2003, the percentage of African American, Asian, Hispanic, and American
Indian/Pacific Islander students has increased from 35.2% to 38.6%. The African American population
has increased from 9.0% to 9.6%; the Hispanic population has risen from 21.2% to 24.2%, while the
White population has decreased from 64.0% to 59.4%.
The College opened in 1961 with 12 full-time instructors, 10 part-time instructors and 2.4
administrators. Since its inception, the College has maintained high standards of instruction and an array
of services to students. As of Fall 2003, the staff has grown to 136 full-time instructors, 324 part-time
instructors, and 181 classified support personnel. The demographic profile of the staff include 48.4%
female, with the racial breakdown being 77.8% White, 10.6% Hispanic, 4.5% Asian/Pacific Islander,
5.8% African American, and 1.1% American Indian.

Community Forecast
According to the author of the Inland Empire Quarterly Economic report 2004, John Husing, the
Inland Empire is forecasted to add 1.7 million people by 2020. As depicted in Table 1, considerable
population increases have been viewed since 2000 (e.g. Victorville’s population grew 5.3% from 2000
to 2001) and more recent years show a similar trend. Victor Valley College has shared in this population
growth as seen by an increase in enrollment of 12.0% from 2000 to 2003 (see Figure 3).

Victor Valley College – Fact Book 2004
Several influential factors have aided in this growth and will continue to benefit the Victor
Valley for years to come. For example, The Victor Valley (e.g. Adelanto, Apple Valley, Hesperia, and
Victorville) is now considered a “hot zone” for affordable housing in Southern California. For example,
604 home sales were recorded in the first quarter of 2004, which was the largest number of sales in San
Bernardino County (Husing, 2004). As viewed in Figure 4, housing costs are increasing dramatically in
San Bernardino County. Yet, as of July of 2004 the Victor Valley area continued to offer median home
prices ($164,000 - $203,000) well below the median home price in California ($406,000). In addition,
industrial space in the Inland Empire is the cheapest in Southern California allowing for the influx of
new businesses (Husing, 2004).

With 29,200 jobs projected for the Inland Empire in 2004 alone, 377,200 jobs are projected for
this region by the year 2010 (Husing, 2004). Victor Valley College is positioning itself to play a key role
in training the workforce needed for the growing population in the Victor Valley. Placement into many
of the occupations (e.g. information technology, construction) listed in Table 2 will be possible through
training at Victor Valley College. In fact, future employees could benefit from training at Victor Valley
College for all of the top ten occupations with the fastest growth and those occupations with the most
job openings in San Bernardino County as viewed in Table 3.

Figure 25 displays the average student GPA by term over the last five years. Summer
intersessions reveal the highest GPA with a range between 2.72 and 2.90. Spring GPAs are second
highest with a range between 2.38 and 2.65 followed closely by Fall with a range between 2.36 and
2.62.
Persistence rate is based upon a student who received at least one grade in a credit course in the
Fall semester and then received at least one grade in a credit course the subsequent Spring semester. As
depicted in Figure 26, persistence rates have ranged between 61.6% and 64.9% over the last five years.

Victor Valley College – Fact Book 2004
One of the prime missions of Victor Valley College is to train or update students that have technical and
occupational goals. One set of measures, collected by the Chancellor’s Office (See table 24) and
reported out by system and individual colleges, is referred to as “Core Measures” or “VTEA Core
Indicator Reports”. While the data are not inclusive, it provides an indication of college program
performance and allows for contrasting of accomplishments with other colleges and a performance
standard. Interpretation of this data should be made after reviewing the information available at the
Chancellor’s Office web site (See source below).
