Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAN : Santa Ana College
Santa Ana College is a community college located at the corner of Bristol and Seventeenth streets in Santa Ana, California, USA. In 1915, Santa Ana Junior College opened its doors to 25 students as a department of Santa Ana High School. It was the second junior college founded in Orange County, behind Fullerton College, and the fourth oldest in all of California. An earthquake in 1933 damaged the Santa Ana High School building, prompting the campus move to North Main Street where it remained until 1947. A bond issue passed in 1945, paving the way for development of a 48 acre (194,000 m²) campus at its current location. Recent years have witnessed the further development of and annexation of adjacent property to the original location. Various programs lead to the awarding of Associate degrees in Arts and Sciences, as well as vocational certificates and the el Don Newspaper. In 1985, a satellite campus, Santiago Canyon College was established in Orange, California. Santiago Canyon has since grown in size to become a separate college from Santa Ana College (although both colleges are part of the Rancho Santiago Community College District).
Santa Ana College is home to Tessmann Planetarium which is currently being renovated.
