Members of Honors Northeast and the NTCC Webb Society are in the midst of an intense film week that has taken them, in 100-degree weather, from Lake Bob Sandlin to Lake Nacogdoches. They are working on their 12th feature-length film on Texas history legends. This year’s script is about the traveling preachers of early Texas.
Christi Denney (left) recently presented Nita May, Director of Development with the Northeast Texas Community College Foundation, with $2,000 to support the Nita DeWoody Memorial Scholarship fund. Multiple donations were received to contribute to the scholarship in memory of JW Hooper, father of Denney and DeWoody, who passed away in 2023.
“Sadly, we lost our father as well this year. The family is very appreciative of those who gave memorial gifts to honor our dad and keep Nita’s scholarship fund going,” Denney said.
Northeast Texas Community College is currently enrolling for its upcoming Professional Driving Academy (CDL training). New classes begin monthly. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in training for a lucrative new career in just one month.
