PALO ALTO COLLEGE: A PLACE OF INNOVATION
Palo Alto College was the culmination of a struggle that first was voiced at the 1974 convention of Communities
Organized for Public Service (COPS) when Fernando Rodriguez Jr. introduced a resolution to work toward
obtaining a community college for the West Side or South Side of San Antonio.
The effort gained momentum in November 1982 when Southside community leaders and COPS sought and received
the endorsement of Gubernatorial candidate Mark White for a community college in the under-served Southside of
Bexar County.
They then approached Alamo Community College District trustees to build a third college. Trustees approved funds
to plan and purchase land for the college on February 21, 1983, and it was chartered by the Texas Legislature on
March 19, 1983 – the official date of its founding.
Palo Alto College classes began with 231 students in high schools and at military installations in September 1985,
and administrative offices were located at Billy Mitchell Village outside the Kelly Air Force Base gates.
Through a bond issue passed in 1983 by Bexar County voters, the $13 million campus was built to accommodate
2,500 students on land inside Loop 410 at Texas Highway 16 in southern Bexar County.
When the mission-style campus opened in January 1987, the new college attracted students from throughout Bexar
County and adjoining counties and was named the fastest growing college in Texas in 1991
Consistent increases in enrollment have prompted much physical growth, specifically through the construction of
new facilities for added classroom space as well as sports and recreation. The college is located on 126 acres.
The original complex consisted of 26 classrooms in 11 buildings.

Institutional profile
A $3.6 million, two-story General Education classroom
building opened in January 1991, doubling the classroom
space on campus.
A $10.5 million Natatorium/Gymnasium Complex
opened in January 1992 as a partnership with the City of
San Antonio.
The $9.5 million, 77,000-square-foot George Ozuna Jr.
Library & Academic Computing Center opened in August
1997, adding one-third to the square footage at the
college.
The Ray Ellison Family Center to accommodate
66 children, opened in October 2001, and earned
accreditation status from the National Association for the
Education of Young Children in 2010.
Sabine Hall, to house applied technology programs,
opened in January 2005.
With Bexar County’s passage of the November 2005 ACCD Capital Improvement Bond, Palo Alto College has
experienced unparalleled physical growth:
• January 2008: A $5.2 million Veterinary Technology Building;
• August 2009: A $14.7 million Performing Arts Center Building, providing a cultural venue for the
Southside. The building houses a 400-seat theater, speech and drama classrooms, dance and recording
studios, recital hall, and a scene shop.
• November 2009: $13.9 million Brazos Hall for science, social sciences and workforce programs. They
include science labs, government and history classrooms, computer labs, and allied health classrooms.
Permanent presidents have been Dr. Terry Dicianna (1985-1989), Dr. Byron Skinner (1990-1992), Dr. Joel Vela
(1993-1996), Dr. Enrique Solis (1998-2001), and, Dr. Ana M.”Cha” Guzmán (2001-2012).
The College achieved full accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1989. Its
accreditation was reaffirmed in 2002. In Fall 2011 the College received one recommendation and was reaffirmed in
June 2012.
The emphasis of Palo Alto College always has been its students. Enrollment reached a peak in Fall 2011 with 9,163
students reported. Historically, Hispanics comprise more than half of Palo Alto’s enrollment, and females generally
outnumber males.
Palo Alto’s education outreach extends well beyond its campus and into “the heart of the community,” the college
slogan adopted in 1994. The mascot is the Palomino.

Institutional profile
A dual-credit program enables students to take
Palo Alto courses and earn college credit while
still in high school as an incentive to pursue a
higher education upon graduation. Palo Alto
College was among eight community colleges in
the nation examined in a Ford Foundation study
because its students are highly successful when
transferring to four- year universities.
Palo Alto College became the home of The
Frank M. Tejeda/Palo Alto College Scholarship
in April 1996.
In Fall 2000 Texas A&M University-Kingsville
began offering junior- and senior-level courses
on the Palo Alto College campus. Through
the Pathway Model from the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board, TAMUK
operated a System Center until Texas A&M
University-San Antonio became a reality on the
Southside in 2009.
In 2010, Palo Alto was among 22 community
colleges nationwide selected to participate in
the Foundations of Excellence project, a major
self-study and improvement process designed to
help campuses evaluate and improve the overall
experience of first-year and transfer students.
In June 2012, the College’s accreditation was
reaffirmed by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (SACS) through 2022.
As a capstone to its efforts to provide for its
students, the college achieved its first $1 million
scholarship endowment.
After 25 years, Palo Alto College is making
a difference and moving forward to share
its campus and its resources to improve its
community.
