San Antonio College History. San Antonio College began in 1925 as University Junior College. In 1926, control of the school changed from the University of Texas to the San Antonio Independent School District. The school’s name changed as well-to San Antonio Junior College. Twenty-two years later, another name change took place. San Antonio Junior College became San Antonio College. Three years later, in 1951, San Antonio College moved to its present location on San Pedro Avenue where five hundred students were enrolled. After a decade, San Antonio College evolved into a comprehensive community college through its occupational and technical course offerings. In the late 1970s, the name of the college district was changed to San Antonio Community College District. Five years later, the district became the Alamo Community College District and it remains that to this day. For more information, visit www.accd.edu/sac/sacmain/html/history.htm.  [Top]
