LaGuardia is named after former Congressman and New York City mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia. The college offers associate degrees in the arts, sciences, and applied sciences, as well as continuing education programs.HistoryLaGuardia Community College was founded on January 22, 1968 by a resolution of the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York, a New York State agency which was the precursor to the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York. The new college, originally designated "Community College Number Nine", was to be comprehensive: "The college will be oriented to the needs and interests of the community in which it is located, providing cultural activities, special services, continuing education and skills training opportunities for community residents of all ages."The college's first president was Dr. Joseph Shenker, who had been Acting President of Kingsborough Community College and at age 29, the youngest community college president anywhere. In October 1970, the Board of Higher Educatio, breaking with CUNY’s geographic naming convention, named the new college after Mayor LaGuardia, noting his "lifelong public service to the people of the City of New York and of the United States, and his ambitious and successful leadership of good government campaigns to provide decent living conditions and guarantee democratic processes for all...."

The college offers associate degrees in the arts, sciences, and applied sciences, as well as continuing education programs. Laguardia Community College was founded on January 22, 1968 by a resolution of the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York,[1] a New York State agency which was the precursor to the Board of Trustees of CUNY.[2] The new college, originally designated "Community College 9", was to be comprehensive ... in terms of its variety of program offering and its community service mission. ... The college will be oriented to the needs and interests of the community in which it is located, providing cultural activities, special services, continuing education and skills training opportunities for community residents of all ages.[1] The college's first president was Dr. Joseph Shenker, who had been Acting President of Kingsborough Community College, and its first location was a five-story 50-year old factory building on Thomson Avenue in Long Island City which has most recently been used to manufacture materiel for the U.S. Army in World War II.[1] In October 1970, the Board of Higher Education named the new college after Mayor Laguardia, noting his lifelong public service to the people of the City of New York and of the United States, and his ambitious and successful leadership of good government campaigns to provide decent living conditions and guarantee democratic processes for all...[1] The college was officially opened on September 22, 1971, and received its first accreditation, from the Middle States Association, in December 1972, when the college graduated its first class.[1] On September 22, 1972, the school received from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, for payment of $1, a 5.2-acre (21,000 m2) site in Astoria that had formerly been the U.S. Army Pictoral Center, with the intention of moving the college to a campus on the new site, but when the city's budget crisis hit in 1974, the site had to be sold off, as the expense of maintaining it in the interim was too high. In the years since its founding, the college has remained in its original building, but has expanded into nearby buildings. Along with the Long Island City Business Coalition, the college occupies the historic Sunshine Biscuits Building, building "C" on their main campus.
The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre has been a major force in American theatre and theatre education since its founding. The Neighborhood Playhouse was founded in 1915 at the forefront of the American theatre renaissance. Created by two philanthropic sisters, Alice and Irene Lewisohn, with the help of Rita Wallach Morgenthau, the original Playhouse was located in the famous Henry Street Settlement House. The Neighborhood Playhouse was one of the first Off-Broadway theatres. Committed to community and devoted to renewing the roots of drama, the Playhouse mounted works both classic and modern. In 1928 The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre opened its doors. The first class of only nine students had the privilege of being taught by theatre luminaries Martha Graham, Louis Horst, Laura Elliott, and Agnes DeMille. In 1935, Sanford Meisner joined the faculty. Over the years, this founding member of The Group Theatre developed and refined what is now known as the Meisner Technique: “To live truthfully under given imaginary circumstances.” The Meisner Technique is a step-by-step procedure of self-investigation for the actor now widely recognized as one of the foremost acting techniques taught today. Sanford Meisner retired in 1990 and served as Director Emeritus of the Acting Department until his death in 1997. All of the current members of the Neighborhood Playhouse acting department were trained to teach acting by Sanford Meisner.

As of July 1, 2010 Chancellor’s Regulation D-150; was revised after receiving several comments from the public expressing concerns over the fact that the Citywide Council on Special Education would no longer be made up of only parents of District 75 students. The revised regulations provides for District 75 to have its own Community Education Council (CEC). The Citywide Education Council for District 75 will represent the school community, parents and children of District 75. The Citywide Education Council for District 75 consists of nine parents of students receiving citywide special education services in District 75 selected by the PA/PTA Officers and two appointees by the Public Advocate. A high school senior receiving citywide special education services in District 75 is selected by the superintendent of District 75 and serves as a non-voting member for one year. Parent selections and Public Advocate appointments take place every two years. The Citywide Education Council for District 75 members are representatives of the parents of students receiving citywide special education services (District 75) and the community-at–large. Members of the Citywide Education Council for District 75 receive information on matters affecting the provision of special education services to students. The council, in turn must consult with a wider community of parents and comment on citywide special education policy. Our meetings will be open to the public, attended by the Superintendent and will allow the members of the community to be heard on educational issues.
