Skagit Valley College's commitment to student success began in 1926 when we welcomed our first class of 23 students to the College's original location in Mount Vernon. SVC now welcomes more than 6,000 students each quarter to its two campuses and three centers in Skagit, Island, and San Juan counties. Our focus on excellence is the result of a dedicated community that places student achievement at the heart of its work. These individuals are exceptional faculty who engage and inspire, devoted staff who support teaching and learning, and generous donors who make student dreams a reality. Collectively, they are creating innovations that expand access to education, developing new resources that support student achievement, and celebrating cultural enrichment that builds community.
