For more information about the baseball team, please visit www.sanjacsports.com 17 The commitment to excellence of the San Jacinto College baseball program is evident by the continuing efforts to keep John Ray Harrison Field on the forefront of junior college baseball. A lighting system and gated entrance were installed in 2002, and in the spring of 2009, construction began on a major overhaul of the field. After the 1993 season, major renovations took place to John Ray Harrison Field. The San Jacinto Board of Trustees voted unanimously for the improvements. The renovations centered around new dressing rooms connected to the home and visitor dugouts, with 30 lockers and showers. The dugouts, a 15-foot warning track around the entire field, an improved draining system, public rest rooms, and a new pressbox / concession stand were also included. San Jac baseball moved to its current home at the North campus over 20 years ago. Prior to that, all home games were played at the Central campus.

The North houses the College’s baseball and women’s basketball teams, as well as the College debate team.

In addition to providing quality education, San Jacinto College North also serves as a convenient hub for its community, generally known as the North Channel area due to the proximity to the thriving Houston Ship Channel. Local service organizations and business groups often hold regular meetings at the North campus, including the North Shore Rotary Club, the North Channel Area Chamber of Commerce, San Jacinto Pilot Club, Wendell Ley Family YMCA, League of United Latin American Citizens, and Head Start.

The North Channel area is one of the most demographically diverse parts of Harris County, where vibrant mixes of people from various backgrounds live and work. Like the community, the North campus is a “melting pot” of students representing a variety of nationalities.

The economy of the North Channel area is also diverse, with a strong representation of small and medium businesses, petrochemical plants, maritime industries, warehouse and distribution centers, fabricating operations, and hospital, retail and service companies. To prepare students for the global marketplace, and to ensure companies have a well-trained work force, the North campus offers high quality academic instruction.

Programs range from diesel, automotive collision and welding technologies, to vocational nursing, engineering design graphics, culinary arts, and cosmetology.

Some of the many initiatives developed with local school districts include the Modified Early College Academy (MECA), dual credit, shared counselors, Scholars Academy, and Upward Bound Math and Science.

A notable collaboration between the North campus and local secondary schools is TRIO, three federally-funded programs that provide services and support for low-income households, and for students who will be the first in their families to graduate from college. The TRIO programs provide academic, career and financial counseling to participants and encourage them to graduate from high school and continue to earn postsecondary degrees.
