Two Northeast Texas Community College Presidential Scholars recently won $100 for their performance in challenging honors seminars. Presley McClendon, who graduated this past May, was the sophomore who took all three honors seminars at NTCC, and ended with the highest GPA.† Chesney Davis won his award as an honors freshman, ranking number one in the Stat-Psych Honors Seminar taught this past spring by Dr. Karyn Skaar and Dr. Paula Wilhite.

We were excited to film a new commercial last week. It stars our very own Jimmy Smith and features some of our awesome students who volunteered time out of their summer to participate. It was shot and produced by Chiam Loyd (also an NTCC student) with Lonely Mountain Films. Check it out...

Northeast Texas Community College hosted representatives from Kilgore College (KC)†this week to formalize the signing of a service area agreement to establish the East Texas Police Academy at Northeast.

Northeast Texas Community College will be closed Monday, May 29 for Memorial Day. Offices will resume regular hours on Tuesday, May 30. We hope everyone has a safe holiday as we remember those who died serving our country.

The Northeast Texas Community College Board of Trustees approved its first policy to permit the carrying of concealed weapons on campus at its regular May meeting Tuesday evening.

This policy was prepared in accordance with a Texas law (SB 11) that will make it legal for licensed individuals to ?conceal carry? a handgun on public community college campuses beginning August 1, 2017. Each college was required to develop local policies for implementation of the new law.

Northeast Texas Community College recently awarded the second annual Bonnie Spencer Awards for excellence in historical research. The prize is awarded to students who write the top United States History papers for the school year. First place ($100) went to Alondra Ferretiz of Mount Pleasant and second place ($50) went to Sarah Craig of Hughes Springs.

NTCC is somewhat unique in that is requires all students to complete a research paper during their United States History course.
