HISTORY OF COMPTON COLLEGE
4
The Compton Community College District (CCCD) was
established in 1927 as a component of the Compton Union High
School District. In 1950, voters approved a bond issue separating
the college from the high school district. Construction of the new
college campus was completed on the present site. Classes began on
the new campus in fall 1956.
The Compton Community College District encompasses an area of
about 29 square miles, making educational services and job training
available to more than 300,000 residents of Compton, Lynwood,
Paramount and Willowbrook, as well as portions of Athens,
Bellflower, Carson, Downey, Dominguez, Lakewood, Long Beach
and South Gate. The college offers more than 41 degree programs
and 38 certificate programs, and employs more than 400 full and
part-time faculty and staff.
In June 2017, the Accrediting Commission for Community and
Junior Colleges (ACCJC) granted initial accreditation status to
Compton College.
In July 2017, Compton College was officially named the 114th
California Community College through unanimous vote by the
Board of Governors. In August 2018, Compton College began
operating as an independent college under the authority of the
Compton Community College District Board of Trustees as outlined
in Executive Order 2018-01 issued by California Community
Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley.
Compton College is accredited by the ACCJC of the Western
Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), an institutional
accrediting body recognized by the Commission on Recognition of
Postsecondary Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.

Enid Jai Wright
Associate degree candidate Enid Jai Wright is honored to be selected as the student speaker for the 2021 Commencement Ceremony at Compton College. Wright is a mother, grandmother and non-traditional student who enrolled in Compton College to create a new career for herself and follow her lifelong dream of attending medical school.
She is a biology and physiological sciences major who plans to transfer to a four-year university to complete her bachelor’s and master’s degrees before moving on to medical school. She hopes to attend either UCLA or Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. Wright is considering a career as a surgeon or emergency room physician. She has worked as a surgical technician for nearly 25 years and is now looking to increase her earning potential while also helping others.
Wright’s message today focuses on prevailing through adversity. Like many in California, even with a job, the cost of living is so high that it is difficult to cover basic needs. Wright has faced many setbacks and barriers in her life, including homelessness, but says she is not ashamed, because it makes her story and destiny that much greater.
Compton College has provided the foundation for Wright to work toward her education and career goals. She chose Compton College for its convenience and location near her family and work. Comprehensive enrollment assistance, financial aid, use of the computer lab, her academic counselor, and regular visits to the Welcome and Transfer Centers were all instrumental in her success at Compton College.
Wright’s advice for all students in college, and in life is: “Keep on going. Use perseverance to achieve your goals despite any challenges you face. It may take longer, but keep pushing for what you want.”
