Longtime Northeast Texas Community College professor, Dr. Winston McCowan, Sr., passed away on May 30, 2021. Dr. McCowan retired from NTCC in 2018 from his position as a Professor of Biology. Dr. McCowan had a passion for helping students and he made a great impact on so many during his 33 years of dedicated service to the college. He is missed greatly by his friends and colleagues.  

The Northeast Texas Community College Professional Driving Academy continues to grow and supply high-demand CDL drivers to the local area. Four new students recently graduated from the program.
