COMMUNITY EDUCATION

All Classes Held Online

We moved around a lot and I didn’t have a stable childhood growing up. When I was a sophomore in high school 9/11 happened and I knew I had a duty to serve others. The first person I interacted with when I moved up here was Shasta College Fire Academy Chief Donovan Lacy. He is a very kind person, and very accommodating. Every instructor and staff member and especially my fellow students were pivotal in helping me settle into my new life and achieving success in the program.

I’ve graduated from the academy, applied to CalFire, and plan to continue my education with a graduate degree in fire science. Coming to Shasta College has taught me the necessary skills to succeed in my career and better protect the community I serve. Because of Shasta College, I’m able to continue my education, stay within my budget and enjoy the flexibility of online classes.
