Since is was founded in 1925, Centralia College has prided itself on being accessible to anyone seeking a first rate education. The value of a two-year college degree or certificate has increased greatly over the years. But so has the cost.
Public funding is no longer enough to sustain the college's renowned programs.
The Education Center will serve as a beacon for students from through the region and the state and will set a standard that all future two-year colleges will seek to emulate. You can be a part of something important, something that has lasting value. The new building will house a 500-seat main theatre and a rehearsal theatre to seat about 100 people. Because the college programs for theatre and music are very active, the current space is often not adequate to meet the college and community needs. The rehearsal theatre will provide the dramatic arts and music programs space, separate from the main theatre, for teaching, practice, and preparation for presentations.
