Striving for relevance and excellence
The SORSOGON COLLEGE OF ARTS AND TRADES now known as SORSOGON STATE COLLEGE (SSC) was established in 1907 as the Sorsogon Provincial Trade School, an elementary school meant to train boys and girls with aptitude in the trades for immediate employment. Situated in a two-hectare campus, a portion of which is part of the present SSC Main Campus, the school initially offered woodworking as the only trade course for intermediate pupils

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
In school year 1926-1927, the school began offering secondary education and eventually phased out its elementary program. Then in 1950, it opened its doors to girls who could take food trades, cosmetology or dressmaking for specialization.
By virtue of Republic Act 704 enacted on May 14, 1952, the trade school was renamed the Sorsogon School of Arts and Trades (SSAT). Its short course offerings were expanded to include architectural drafting, building construction, electricity and furniture and cabinet making. Two years later, the two- year technical course with specialization in the same trades as those for the secondary course was introduced. Soon, machine shop practice, radio mechanics, automotive mechanics and refrigeration and air-conditioning were added as major courses.
State College in Sorsogon City, Sorsogon.On April 17, 1977, the Secretary of Education and Culture approved the school’s conversion into a tertiary institution to be known as the Sorsogon College of Arts and Trades (SCAT).
December 30, 1993, then President Fidel V. Ramos signed the bill into R.A. 7666, converting the Sorsogon College of Arts and Trades (SCAT) into the Sorsogon State College (SSC) and integrating with it three vocational high schools in the province – the Bulan Vocational High School (BVHS), Magallanes School of Fisheries (MSF), and Sorsogon National Agriculture School (SNAS).
PRESENT TIMES
The Sorsogon State College is fast becoming a leading institution of higher learning in Sorsogon and nearby provinces. Despite setbacks brought about by two strong typhoons near the end of 2006, it was able to attain modest gains along its four-fold functions of instruction, research, extension and production.
Indeed, the present set of leadership in SSC is seriously committed to pursue both quality and relevance in all its undertakings in order to realize its vision of becoming a center of excellence in the formation of a progressive, productive, self-reliant, responsive, nationalistic, ecology-friendly and value-oriented people for a united, peaceful and agri-industrialized Sorsogon.
