PCC @ John Muir High School

In 2016 PCC opened a satellite campus on the campus of John Muir High School.  The site currently offers college credit classes taught by PCC faculty for the general public after school hours; John Muir students are able to take these classes as concurrently enrolled students at little to no cost. Many students are already taking advantage of this opportunity!

Please inquire with your son/daughter's counselor to enroll in PCC classes. They will be happy to assist you!
