Our Mission

 

Our Mission

We change lives through education, community engagement, and partnerships.

Our Vision

Together with our community members and business and industry partners, San Jacinto College sets the standard for educational excellence, economic growth, and social mobility characterized by innovation and responsiveness.

Our Values

We understand that every student is on a unique academic journey. San Jacinto College students are a diverse mosaic — blending many perspectives on success. Two-fifths of our student body are first-generation college students, and their academic success has the potential to change their lives, their families, and their communities. Others aspire to master a trade,  jump-start a new career, or are preparing to transfer to a university. Many of our students have other obligations and need a flexible schedule that allows them to balance education, work, and family. 

No matter how you define it, success for every graduate drives our value system at San Jacinto College.
