The forerunner of Lassen Community College began on May 4th, 1925, when the Junior College Department of the Lassen Union High School District was established and began conducting classes on the Lassen High School campus.
A separate facility was created in 1941 and in 1947, because of increasing enrollment, a new building was constructed adjacent to the high school.
The modern era of Lassen Community College began in March 1965 with the establishment of the Lassen Community College District and the separation from the high school district.
