'ARC' American River College

American River College (ARC) is a California community college located on the southern edge of unincorporated Foothill Farms in Sacramento, California.

College was opened in 1955 as American River Junior College, in place of the old Grant Technical College. It moved to its present 153-acre (0.62 km2) site of the old Cameron Ranch in 1958, took 8 new office complexes and the original ranch Cameron home. In 1965 the college became part of the Los Rios Community College District and became American River College. Today, along with Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake College and Sacramento City College, ARC sent a seven-member board of trustees elected by voters living in the area.
