For the twelfth-straight year since 2008, Cypress Bank has presented a high-end MacBook laptop for the use of Northeast Texas Community College honors students.  This year’s Cypress Bank Scholar is Sam Josiah Griffin.  He is the third son, and fifth child of Dr. Steven and Joy Griffin to have matriculated in the honors program at NTCC. Homeschooled in Pittsburg, Griffin has excelled in nineteen hours of classes at the college, and already as an entering freshman has served as a major contributor to the honors film on Adina de Zavala.

Northeast Texas Community College will be closed Monday, Sept. 2 for Labor Day. We will resume our regular class and office schedule on Tuesday, Sept. 3. In case of an emergency on campus during the closure, please contact security at 903-563-1417.
