History The Rio Hondo Community College District was established by election in October 1960, but first classes were not held until 1963-1964. Since the district’s boundaries at that time were identical to those of the Whittier Union High School District, administration of the district was by the high school district Board of Trustees. Creation of the El Rancho Unified School District in 1962 required that Rio Hondo College establish its own Board of Trustees, and an election for that purpose was held in April 1962.

The new Board of Trustees appointed Dr. Phil Putnam as the founding Superintendent-President in February 1963. In May 1963, the Board chose Rio Hondo as the name for the college. The name, long associated with the area surrounding the Rio Hondo River, means “deep river.”

College classes were offered for the first time in the late afternoons and evenings in September 1963 at Sierra and individual and community life, vocational training in certain El Rancho High Schools.

In order to maintain an academic balance, the following information should be considered: 1. Students can expect to spend at least three hours (one in class and two outside of class) each week for every unit taken. A student with 12 units will need 24 hours of study time for a total of 36 hours needed for school each week. 2. Employment time and college time combined should not exceed 60 hours weekly. 3. Students should distribute study time appropriately for each class – often preparation for a lecture class differs from preparation for a laboratory class. 4. Students should consult frequently with their instructors – their office hours are designed for that purpose. 5. To assist in their academic success, students should use the tutoring services, the library, counselors, and other support services.
