School Notes
Grays Harbor College, a community college, was conceived in 1929 by
a group of Aberdeen citizens under the leadership of Mr. W. O.
McCaw and on August 7, 1930, was incorporated under the laws of the
state of Washington. The college operated as a private institution
from 1930 to 1945. In 1945, the Aberdeen School District assumed
control of the college and provided much needed financial
stability. Since that time Grays Harbor College has continued to
serve the men and women of this area, offering them academic,
professional and technical courses at a low cost and giving them
the opportunity to live at home. Located on a picturesque 120-acre
site overlooking the town of Aberdeen and its seaport on the edge
of the Pacific Ocean, Grays Harbor College offers a beautiful
setting and challenging programs for learners of all ages and
interests. Our two-year community college- one of 34 in the
Washington State system, is committed to being the premier choice
for excellence in education, training, and services, responsive to
the diverse needs of our communities. The college offers Adult
Basic Education, English as a Second Language, GED and Four-Year
degree programs. Grays Harbor College is accredited as a community
college by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
College-level credits earned by students at Grays Harbor College
are accepted by colleges and universities throughout the United
States.
