History
The history of the school dates back to the late 1900s when the school was known as Echuca Technical School. Echuca Technical School ceased to be a technical school in the early 1990s and moved to the Butcher Street site, where it remained as Echuca Secondary College until 2006 when it was merged with the other state secondary school in Echuca, Echuca High School. Echuca College received a 15 million dollar grant from the Government to transform the school to a 'state of the art' learning centre. Recently, Echuca College received another grant to help with landscaping.
Since the 23rd of November 2009, Years 10 to 12 have moved to the College Drive Campus. Echuca College is now situated on one campus. The Crofton Street Campus is now under the control of DEECD.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
