On Wednesday, August 17, 2011, we finally broke ground for Rio Hondo College’s El Monte Education Center that will be ready to serve students in two years. Im very excited! It took time, patience and effort to negotiate with the City of El Monte, and at times the project was uncertain, but that has past and now we have a site.
Over six years ago, the Board of Trustee’s work diligently to select communities to host a “College Center”. South Whittier being geographically the furthest community from the Main campus was a sure host and El Monte for its population density.
El Monte was the first to host a "College Center" over ten years ago when it was on Valley Blvd and it’s great to see El Monte have a Rio Hondo presence again.
