Compton Promise Logo
All eligible first-time college students will now be able to attend Compton College nearly fee of cost! Beginning in fall 2023, the Compton College Oliver W. Conner Promise program will expand to include all eligible first-time college students regardless of whether they live within the Compton Community College District service boundaries or not.

All first-time college students (full- or part-time) who meet the following eligibility criteria will have their $46 per unit enrollment fees waived at Compton College for two years (up to 15 units per term):

  • Must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) for the term the student is applying for and receive an “award package.”
  • Remains enrolled in a minimum of six units at census
  • Receives a 2.0+ GPA
  • Maintains a 66.7% completion rate
“We hope this expanded program will encourage many more students, of all ages, to enroll at Compton College through this life-changing program,” said Compton College President Keith Curry. “The Compton Promise was established to develop a college-going culture and support the academic, personal, and professional success of young adults in our communities; break access barriers to higher education; and increase the economic vitality of our region.”

Compton College established the Oliver W. Conner College Promise Program in 2018 that waived enrollment fees for students who live within the college district’s service area (Compton, Lynwood, and Paramount unified school districts) and the success of the program has led to this expansion, which was approved by the Compton Community College District Board of Trustees through a resolution on May 16, 2023.

Compton College 2023 Commencement:

107 Local High School Seniors Graduate with Both Diplomas and Degrees

2023 Graduation Class PhotoCompton College celebrated the academic achievements of its students at the 2023 Commencement Ceremony on June 9, held at the Dignity Health Sports Center Tennis Stadium in Carson, Calif. Addressing the Class of 2023 was keynote speaker Su Jin Jez, CEO of California Competes. View a gallery of photos from the Commencement Ceremony on the Compton College Flickr account here.

Compton College’s class of 2023 includes 347 students who earned associate degrees and 180 students who earned certificates. Among the graduates are 83 Compton Unified School District Early College High School students and 24 students from the Paramount Unified School District’s College and Career Access Pathways inaugural graduating class. A total of 107 graduating high school seniors from these two districts earned an associate degree or certificate while enrolled in high school.

Established in 2015, the early college pathway partnerships with local school districts provide highly motivated high school students at Compton Unified School District and Paramount Unified District with the opportunity to earn both a high school diploma and two years of college credit toward an associate degree. Local high school students who participate in these programs will be taking college classes offered by Compton College. 

Since the first cohort graduation in 2019, a combined total of 290 students from Compton Early College High School and Paramount College and Career Access Pathways have graduated with both a diploma and an associate degree through Compton College’s partnership with the Compton and Paramount unified school districts.

At the Commencement Ceremony, Compton College President Keith Curry delivered opening remarks, “Graduates, this ceremony marks the completion of your work at Compton College. It gives you the chance to formally acknowledge your academic achievements. We are especially proud of the graduating seniors from both the Compton and Paramount unified school districts who have simultaneously earned both a high school diploma and an associate degree. The early college graduates have put in the hard work, saved time and money, while also following an accelerated path to earn a four-year degree.”



Commencement Student Speaker Creates His Own ‘Field of Dreams’

Armando Arguello Compton College 2023 graduate Armando Arguello has played baseball since age 4 and has fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a collegiate baseball player. A member of the Compton College baseball team for the past two years, the right-handed pitcher will be attending Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri, this fall on an athletic scholarship.

The honors student with a 4.0 GPA was invited to apply and audition to be the 2023 student speaker for Compton College’s Commencement Ceremony on June 9 at the Dignity Health Sports Center. After being selected, the first-generation college student delivered his speech to his graduating peers, friends, and family members with a message focused on the premise that each person will have a different path to success. “Some people will face more adversity than others, however, I want to encourage everyone to remain strong and positive through rough times. He admits there are times where he has felt like the standards he is held to by people close to him are too high, yet he continues to work on being a better person every day. He strives to not only fulfill these standards, but often sets the bar even higher.

“I’m inspired by my parents,” he said. “They are respected, and they are genuine; what you see is what you get. They instilled in me good values. They taught me to be loving and caring, and to treat people as you would want to be treated.”

At Avila University, Arguello will pursue a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts, with a concentration in behavioral and social science, while also playing for the Avila Eagles baseball team. After completing his undergraduate studies, Arguello plans to return to Southern California to earn a master’s degree in academic advising and counseling. He hopes to one day return to Compton College to serve as an academic counselor, helping students achieve their educational and career goals. “Through my interest in communication studies and leadership roles in athletics, I discovered a passion for helping people, so I want to pay it forward in the future by returning to Compton College and serving on the counseling team,” he said.

Arguello says Compton College has provided a safe space for him to explore his interests, both on and off the field. During the past three years at Compton College, he has earned three associate degrees for transfer, five additional associate degrees, and two certificates of achievement. Arguello served as pitcher for the Compton College baseball team, and says he is grateful for everything that has come of his decision to attend Compton College. He was named to the Dean’s List, selected as a Scholar Athlete of the Year, and awarded a Presidential Scholarship. Arguello would like to recognize the many coaches, instructors, counselors, and staff members at Compton College that have contributed to his success.

“I never felt like just a number at Compton College, but rather felt like I was in the right place,” he said. “I used the smaller class sizes to my advantage and was able to get a lot of assistance from my instructors. All the resources were available to me, and it was up to me to access the student services when I needed them.”

Arguello encouraged everyone in attendance at the 2023 Commencement Ceremony to be helpful and kind to others, but also to “always believe in yourselves and what you can achieve.” 

“To my fellow graduates in the class of 2023, whatever your end goal may be, know today that you have proven that there is no task too big, but rather, you are up for the challenge,” said Arguello to close out his speech. “You are a Compton College graduate; you are a story of success!

“In addition to Compton College offering state and federal Financial Aid that many students are eligible to receive, the Foundation for the Compton Community College District annually awards scholarships to students to help finance college attendance,” said Compton College President Keith Curry. “In the past five years, the Foundation has awarded more than $170,000 in scholarships to Compton College students. We encourage all students to apply for scholarships during their first year at Compton College.”

Scholarships are beneficial to students trying to offset the cost of a college education. Scholarships do not need to be paid back and are awarded based on specific qualifications, talents, or merit often without regard to financial need. Current Compton College students may apply online for multiple scholarships with just one application. The annual scholarship application period is usually the beginning of October through the end of February of the following year.

“We are proud of Compton College’s numerous 2023 student scholars who have worked hard for these academic achievements,” said Barbara Calhoun, Compton Community College District Board of Trustees president. “The Board is extremely grateful for the generous donations the Foundation for the Compton Community College District receives each year from businesses, organizations, and individuals in our surrounding communities to enable the funding of these scholarships for students, many of whom face financial barriers to obtaining a college education.”

Compton College offers scholarships to students across all academic disciplines and 24 categories, including students working toward a certificate in Career Education programs, Dream Act students, Formerly Incarcerated Students in Transition (F.I.S.T.) program participants, first generation students, women re-entering college, and more.

We hope to continue to inspire and educate a new generation of leaders in nursing and other medical professions.”

Compton College’s Nursing Program is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN).

Alumnus Pursues Doctorate in Psychology to Address Societal Issues


Yahziq Ohmn-Drayden A lifelong learner and student of life, Yahziq Ohmn-Drayden entered academia at the age of 40 by enrolling at Compton College in 2018. After contributing to his community creatively for years through his work as an MC, writer, poet, and artist, Ohmn-Drayden decided he wanted to develop other skills to help his community. He chose Compton College because it is located in his hometown and holds special meaning for him. “While I have moved from the area, I liked that I was still participating in the community where I grew up,” he said.

Ohmn-Drayden was inspired by how Compton College serves a community he cares so deeply for and wanted to share his positive experiences with others to hopefully inspire them, as well. He views Compton College as a good resource for the community and said that he learned a great deal as a student. “I feel that in every class I learned such a wealth of information, and also learning how higher education works is priceless,” said Ohmn-Drayden.

Two years after enrolling at Compton College, in 2020, Ohmn-Drayden graduated with a 4.0 GPA and an associate degree for transfer, as well as an associate degree in welding. He transferred to California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) in fall 2020 and graduated in 2022 Suma Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.

After graduation from CSUDH, Ohmn-Drayden applied to a doctorate program, was accepted, and began working toward a Ph.D. in applied psychology in fall 2022. “I have been doing community work since my early twenties,” he said. “One of the things I learned is that sometimes it is hard for people to ‘hear you’ when you don’t have validation, such as through an advanced degree. I believe my expertise would be best invested on the research side of psychology and focusing on solutions that can be enacted within the community for the betterment of all.”

He is also interested in the study of positive psychology which, in simple terms, focuses on wellness versus illness. Positive psychology is defined as the scientific study of human flourishing, and an applied approach to optimal functioning. “I am very interested in positive psychology,” he said. “There is a whole movement in this area of psychology. We need a blend of approaches to help increase our understanding of what is really going on and not just focus on the negative in terms of mental health.”

 At Compton College, he was referred to and enrolled in the stated-funded Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), which provides extra support for eligible students in higher education. The EOPS program provided him with services Ohmn-Drayden felt ultimately helped him finish his double major in two years. The book vouchers EOPS provided helped alleviate a bit of financial stress, and the counseling offered through EOPS was one of Ohmn-Drayden’s favorite services offered. “Every EOPS counselor I talked with totally kept me on track to take the classes I needed,” he said. “Once I decided I wanted to complete a double major, the counselors were able to assist me with my educational plan, identifying all the correct classes, and made sure I was aware of all of my deadlines for university transfer.”

During his time at Compton College, Ohmn-Drayden helped initiate a Welding Club with the idea that it would be a resource for students to network and do outreach in the community for potential jobs or to gain more experience. For years, he has been an independent artisan working with metal and wood, making custom pieces such as signs, plaques, and awards for businesses. “I would like to return to Compton College in some role to assist in working with the Welding Club,” he said, “I would like to help increase interest in the welding program at Compton through the club. I plan on helping in whatever capacity I can once I complete my doctorate program.”

Ohmn-Drayden is considering dissertation topics and focus for his research and once he earns his Ph.D., he will consider different career options such as a psychology researcher, authoring books, and teaching as a guest or independent lecturer. He wants to give back to society. He defines what he calls his “operating meditation” as follows:

“I’ve been watching and paying attention to the different societal dynamics we are currently dealing with in the U.S. and the world,” he said. “That has been my motivation to earn advanced degrees, so the social impact work I do can be even better, as well as improve my ability to affect change.”

Holifield Library Naming Ceremony


Holifield LibraryCompton College recently held a library naming ceremony to posthumously honor the life-long community work, advocacy, and dedication to education by Mrs. Emily B. Hart-Holifield with many of her family members in attendance.

“We are pleased to honor Emily B. Hart-Holifield’s legacy of service and belief in public service as a sacred, ongoing responsibility by naming Compton College’s campus library as the Holifield Library, said Barbara Calhoun, Board of Trustees president for the Compton Community College District, during the ceremony in April 2023. “The Library, located inside the Library-Student Success Building constructed in 2014, is a place for Compton College students to access study resources to aid in their academic success. It is an appropriate place to honor Mrs. Hart-Holifield, as she was dedicated to the success of all students.”

Emily B. Hart-Holifield was the first Black woman elected to the Compton Community College District Board of Trustees in 1975. She served on the Board for 20 consecutive years; she completed 10 terms as board president and 4 terms as vice president. She is credited with founding the Women’s History program at Compton College.

In 1969, Mrs. Hart-Holifield became an educator in the Compton Unified School District. She served as a teacher for special needs students, and dedicated much of her time to finding ways to support and accommodate her students’ needs. Early in her career as an educator, she began advocating for change.

Her accomplishments during her lifetime are abundant. Some of the highlights of her career and community service include:  being the first Black woman elected to the Los Angeles County Trustee Association Board; organizing a protest that led to heating being installed in all Compton Unified School District classrooms; serving on the Affirmative Action Board for the California Democratic Party; member of the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice, member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,  and a legacy that includes being known as a warrior for justice for persons at risk, the underrepresented, and the underserved, to name only a few.

Coach Shannon WilliamsCompton College Baseball Coach Shannon Williams celebrated his 250th career win with the Tartar Baseball team in April 2023 with a 2-0 win against Mt. Sac.

Williams earned his 220th win in March 2019, against Chaffey College, which marked his place in the record books as the college’s all-time “winningest” coach.

Coach Williams reflected on his reaching 250 wins, “I have been very blessed to have the opportunity to help so many players find their path in life through baseball and academics. This moment was no about me getting the 250th win, but to see how excited the team was after a big win is what matters most. This great game of baseball provides unbelievable life lessons for our young men.”
