On Nov. 14, 1933, forty-one students began classes at Palm Beach Junior College, the first public junior college in Florida. The college opened in a 1927 Mediterranean Revival building that was part of the Palm Beach High School campus, and moved to its current suburban Lake Worth location in 1955. Its name changed to Palm Beach Community College in 1988, and to Palm Beach State College in 2010.
The 1927 Mediterranean Revival building originally served as a science and manual training building for Palm Beach High School. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. (Photo courtesy of the Florida Division of Historical Resources)
