PERALTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTWhen it created the City’s first public trade school in 1915, the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) heldthat “the modern school system should serve the needs of all the children of all the people.” Oakland’s Vo-cational High School, perhaps the first recognizable ancestor of the Peralta Community College District, wasthe OUSD’s attempt to get modern.Now in its fourth decade, the Peralta Community College District remains true to Oakland Unified’s originalcommitment to service. Even more, Peralta has evolved into a first-rate academic institution and a tremendous educational resource for people of all ages, interests, and backgrounds.Long-time East Bay residents may remember the Part-Time School and Central Trade and Technical Institute.It was not until July 1953, however, that the Oakland Board of Education began to shape its higher educationfacilities into what in retrospect appear clear antecedents of the modern Peralta schools: Oakland Junior Col-lege was founded, with Laney set up as its vocational campus, Merritt as its business campus. A year laterMerritt added a liberal arts division, and by 1955 it began granting associate degrees. Laney and Merritt soonbecame known collectively as Oakland City College.The residents of Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, and Piedmont voted in November 1963 to join withOakland to establish a separate junior college system, and the Peralta Community College District was officially formed on July 1, 1964. Taking its name from Luis Maria Peralta, the Spanish military man to whom the44,800 acres on which the six cities of the modern district lie were granted in August 1820, the Peralta Com-munity College District determined to make each of its campuses a comprehensive college, offering careerand technical education, occupational, and liberal arts courses.The district’s principles are well set out by its mission statement:The mission of the Peralta Community College District is to provide accessible, high-quality adult learningopportunities to meet the educational needs of the multicultural East Bay community.While the language and emphasis of the district’s statements have changed over the course of the last century,the ideals they point to remain constant.Throughout its history, Peralta has dedicated itself to creating opportunities for the people it serves and it willcontinue to do so.8LANEY COLLEGE 2013-2015
