On September 15, 1941, "La Junta Junior College" opened its doors to the first class. The college was operated by the La Junta school district and was classified as a continuation school. On January 1, 1956, the college governing board voted to take over the existing facilities from the La Junta School District, and the college changed its name to "Otero Junior College." The college became primarily a transfer institution emphasizing the first two years of a four-year degree program. Today students from all over the state and even the world attend Otero Junior College.
