Today, we’re kicking off 80 years of Laredo College! 💚

In September 1946, the LISD Board of Trustees unanimously declared its intent to form the Laredo Municipal Junior College District, setting in motion what would lead to the creation of Laredo Junior College and eventually Laredo College.

Today’s kickoff marks the beginning of a year of celebrations as we honor where we started and look ahead to the years to come.

Here’s to 80 years of changing lives and building a future where you belong.
