what role does gavilan community college play in our community?

Gavilan has provided high quality and affordable education to our community for generations. With the rising cost of attending a four-year college, our local community colleges ensure that everyone who can’t afford the high price of attending the University of California or State University systems have an opportunity to succeed in college and future careers. Gavilan educates the healthcare professionals that serve our medical needs, the police and firefighters that keep us safe and the skilled high-tech workers who fuel our economy.
