About GHC
When Grays Harbor College was established in 1930, a tradition of
helping our students succeed also began. Now, some 80 years later, we
have assembled excellent instructors and dedicated staff, all caring
individuals focused on providing the very best services to the students
in the Grays Harbor and Pacific counties that we serve. We are
focused on success of all varieties – helping students as they work
towards an Associate degree with plans to transfer on to a four-year
college or university; teaching new skills that could lead to a new or
improved job; or encouraging someone as they strive to earn a GED,
master English as a new language, or enroll in any one of our
community special interest courses.
The success of our students is our first and foremost goal. Our purpose is to help you achieve your goals leading you towards the future you are choosing. In fact, “Here to Help” is the motto you
will notice displayed on many staff desks. Major construction projects have taken place on our main campus
in recent years, again so your college environment is the most conducive for learning. We have located
education centers in Raymond and Ilwaco to bring learning opportunities closer to your home and also
offer a comprehensive list of online courses, again to make learning easier to reach.
This legacy of serving and nurturing success, initiated nearly eight decades ago in an old wooden schoolhouse, confirms our commitment to provide you with top-quality learning opportunities. We will be with you all along the way because your success is important to all of us here at Grays Harbor College. Please don’t hesitate to ask any of us for help. Best wishes for a rewarding year at GHC!
