My journey with NTCC began as a dual credit student at Chapel Hill. After graduation, I took a few general education classes before stepping away for a short time. In 2011, I returned with a clear goal in mind—pursuing my AAS in Medical Assisting. From the moment I started the program, I knew I had found the right path. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive, always invested in our success as students...

moss at NTCC graduation

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.

So I asked for an employment application as well...

My father had a sixth-grade education, and my mother a high school diploma. We didn’t have the financial means or the knowledge of how to navigate college. But I knew I wanted more...

Pleasant, Pittsburg and Daingerfield.  At the time I was a full time mathematics professor and division chair at Henderson County Junior College in Athens, Texas. The thought of being an original faculty and leading in the success of this new college intrigued me powerfully...
