The district covers Chino, Chino Hills, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Upland. ==History== [[Image:Chaffee-College-1885.jpg|thumb|left|Chaffey College of Agriculture, 1885.]] The school was established in [[Ontario, California]] in 1883, when city founders and brothers [[George Chaffey|George]] and [[William Chaffey]] donated land and established an [[Financial endowment|endowment]] for a [[Private university|private college]]. The private school was founded as the Chaffey College of Agriculture of the [[University of Southern California]];<ref name=USCChaffey>[http://www.chaffey.org/alumni/fasti/editorials/1917_editorial.html "History of Chaffey" (Taken from the 1917 FASTI Yearbook)], Chaffey High School, November 27, 2005, accessed May 14, 2012.</ref> USC, also a private university, had been founded three years earlier in nearby [[Los Angeles]]. The [[cornerstone]] of the new school was laid on March 17, 1883 at Fourth and Euclid in Ontario; it opened on October 15, 1885. The original institution included a [[secondary school]] and was run by USC until 1901. During this period, Chaffey's football team had a 1-1 series with the young [[University of Southern California Trojans football|USC football team]], winning 32-6 in 1893 and losing 38-0 in 1897.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/southern_california/yearly_results.php?year%3D1890 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2006-11-02 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061030020754/http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/southern_california/yearly_results.php?year=1890 |archivedate=2006-10-30 |df= }}</ref> [[Image:Chaffey library.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Chaffey College library.]] Financial troubles forced the school to close in 1901. The building was taken over by the city and became the home of Ontario High School (now [[Chaffey High School]]). In 1906 the Chaffey endowment was legally separated from USC and reorganized to benefit the newly created [[Chaffey Joint Union High School District|Chaffey Union High School District]]. When Ontario High school opened to students from [[Upland, California|Upland]] in 1911, its present name was adopted. In 1916, the Chaffey Junior College of Agriculture was added as a postgraduate department to the high school. The school's buildings were renovated and additional buildings added during the [[New Deal]]. A separate junior college district was created in 1922 and in 1957 bonds were approved in support of a complete separation of the high school and college facilities. The current location in Alta Loma opened in the spring of 1960. The college's mascot is the Panther. The Measure L bond provides up to $230 million in bonds during a 10-year period for the Facilities Master Plan. Off-site campuses in [[Fontana, California|Fontana]] and [[Chino, California|Chino]] are also part of this master plan, with new Fontana buildings and a new Chino campus being developed. The college remains open while undergoing construction, except for occasional diversions in traffic and parking. == Campus == The college has upgraded its facilities in 2010s with infrastructure repairs, renovation and upgrades to existing buildings, as well as the construction of a new four-building science complex, student services building, the Panther Express convenience store, Rancho Dining Commons (MACC), Panther Cafe (Starbucks), and educational excellence center. The campus bookstore is known for being an industry leader in low cost books and educational materials. They were early champions of textbook rentals and e-books and have received significant recognition for their efforts. == Organization and administration == The president is Dr Henry D. Shannon. == Academic profile == Chaffey offers [[associate degree]]s and [[occupational certificate]]s in many fields, including aviation, automotive, business, science, the arts, history, philosophy, psychology, [[Registered Nurse|RN]], and [[Licensed practical nurse|LVN]] nursing.<ref name="CC Counseling">{{cite web|title=Counseling Department|url=http://www.chaffey.edu/counseling/degree.shtml|publisher=Chaffey College|accessdate=2013-03-18}}</ref> Chaffey offers one of the oldest aviation programs in the United States.
