Welcome Back Pirates!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Fall 2026 semester at Porterville College!

Even with the triple-digit heat greeting us during our first week back, our students showed up in force to kick off the new academic year. Despite the soaring heat, the campus has been bustling with activity and classrooms have come back to life after the summer break. It’s great to see the energy and determination return to campus. Thank you for bringing such incredible momentum and pirate pride right out of the gate!

With the start of the semester comes the return of News From the Crow’s Nest—your weekly go-to source for everything happening at PC.

Be sure to check your inbox every Friday for updates on upcoming campus events, student resources, important deadlines, and highlights of student life both inside and outside the classroom. We have an exciting lineup of programs, activities, and campus updates planned this semester, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Enjoy your look at the highlights from our first week back. Stay cool, hydrated, and let’s make this semester our best one yet! 🏴‍☠️😎
