About the college

West Hills College has a long and rich history that started in 1932. In that year, the Coalinga Union High School District wanted to build a college. A campus was built near the city of Coalinga and then in 1969 the name was changed to the name that it goes by today. This was known as Kings County Center and then was changed to the name of West Hills College-Lemoore. The doors for the new campus in Lemoore opened in 2002 and has been going strong ever since.
