Contents

Delgado Community College is one of nine community colleges which operate under the auspices of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System. The institution originally opened in 1921 as Delgado Trades School; it went through several reorganizations and was finally named Delgado Community College by the Louisiana State Legislature in 1980, under the administration of Governor David C. Treen.

The maps of Louisiana's Technical and Community Colleges indicate that Delgado's service area includes New Orleans and Jefferson, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. Tammany parishes. [1] A Delgado Community College document stated that, in addition, Lafourche, St. Bernard, and Terrebonne parishes are in its service area. [2]

Campuses

Sidney Collier Campus is in East New Orleans. While located within Orleans Parish, it is in close proximity to both St. Bernard Parish and St. Tammany Parish. [3] WXDR-LP broadcasts from the main campus.

There were two campuses in St. Tammany Parish: one in Slidell, Louisiana, the Slidell Learning Center, and one in Covington, Louisiana, the Delgado Northshore campus that first opened in 1987. The Covington campus closed at the end of the spring 2014 semester. [4] The Slidell campus closed in 2016 due to financial issues. [5]
