Every semester full-time and associate faculty in NTCC’s Division of Math, Physics and Engineering can select an outstanding student, who is exceptional in some way. For the Fall 2021 semester, Dr. Doug Richey nominated Grayson Goates (left) as Outstanding College Algebra Student. For the Spring 2022 semester, Richey nominated April O'Rand (right) as Outstanding College Algebra Student. 

Congratulations, Grayson and April!

Northeast Texas Community College will host two spring commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 14 in the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts.

The NTCC EMS Program was invited to the Little Rascals Daycare and Learning Centers Community Helpers Week Celebration. Little Rascals invited many community organizations to discuss what they do and have to offer.
