West Hills College North District Center

North District Center, Firebaugh was founded in 1971 as part of West Hills College Coalinga, which was founded in 1932 as Coalinga College. In 2002, its sister college opened in Lemoore. Both the center and the colleges are governed by the West Hills Community College District, which serves 6,000 students each semester, including hundreds of online classes. The district operates North District Center, Firebaugh. The three facilities bring access to higher education to parts of Fresno County and all of Kings County. We are part of the California Community College System, the largest system of higher education in the U.S. We offer a unique year-around registration system that lets you sign up for classes for Spring, Summer and Fall, all at one time. Our programs include Associate Degree for Transfer (ATD), which guarantees students who sign up and develop an education plan to transfer in two years to CSU and complete their bachelor's degree in four years. Tremendous financial help is available to our students, through state programs and awards and scholarships. Our colleges work to help you succeed in getting into college and meeting your goals.
