HISTORY

San Jose Community College was established in 1993 through the collaborative efforts of the Barangay Council of San Jose, the Municipal Government of Malilipot, the Principal of San Jose National High School, the late Mr. Efren Barja, and the GPTA President Mr. Ruben Rico and other stakeholders.

With an initial enrollment of 33 students, enrollment had continuously increased due to the school's high passing percentage in the Licensure Examination of Teachers (LET), recording a national placer in the year 2001.

SJCC is soaring to greater heights with its new site at Datag, San Jose, Malilipot, Albay. It will continue to live up to the philosophies for which it was founded to cater to the educational needs of the youth of the local community and the nearby municipalities.

We at SJCC envision the regular operation of the College with permanent staff within five years and work for its conversion into a state college ten years hence.
