Since welcoming its first students in 1985, NTCC has proudly served the region for four decades. To celebrate, the college is hosting a 40th Anniversary Community Picnic on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the main campus plaza near the Eagles Nest Pavilion.
The event will feature:
The Northeast Texas Community College Eagles Baseball team welcomed about 30 young athletes to campus last weekend for a fun-filled kids camp. Youth ages 5-12 had the opportunity to learn baseball fundamentals, practice their skills, and play alongside NTCC players.
Chad Elledge, NTCC Board Trustee
I graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School in 1988. At that time, students in the top 10% of their class were given the incredible opportunity to attend NTCC tuition-free until they completed an associate’s degree. My parents encouraged me to take advantage of this, especially since I had a vision condition that brought financial and medical challenges for my family. Though I was initially frustrated—since many of my friends were heading straight to four-year universities—I agreed to visit NTCC.

Jason Moss, Communities In Schools Coordinator
My name is Jason Moss I graduated from MPISD in 1998. At the time, I didn’t know where I wanted to go or what fields I might be interested in studying. My counselor told me I could apply for the MPISD scholarship at NTCC and suggested I write a one-page essay and submit it. I had never really been to a college campus before, and that opportunity led me to choose NTCC to begin my journey.
