4 /5 Jim Kara: The school’s in a beautiful open space setting with Mission Revival structures.
While attending a track and field event, I toured the Pierce College campus and was amazed at the tranquil atmosphere a few blocks from the busy 101 Freeway, within the crowded San Fernando Valley.
The curriculum was good for Junior College courses, the students seemed happy with their programs and the sports department had a stadium!
Regional track competitions are held at the stadium and at the hill, where cross country teams rough it thru in often difficult conditions, including high temperatures and winds. My group did the dirt trail runs thru the dusty winds!
Even the awards ceremony afterwards had the high winds blowing dirt. Notwithstanding the conditions, the runners took it all in stride!
