Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) is a community college serving the Northeast Texas region. The campus is set on in rural Titus County near the community of Chapel Hill, approximately seven miles southeast of Mount Pleasant, the county seat. As defined by the Texas Legislature, the official service area of NTCC comprises the following:〔Texas Education Code, Section 130.192, "Northeast Texas Community College District Service Area".〕 *all of Camp, Morris, and Titus Counties (these counties comprise the tax base for the NTCC District), *the Avinger and Hughes Springs school districts, located within Cass County, *the Como-Pickton and Saltillo school districts, located within Hopkins County, *the Mount Vernon Independent School District, located within Franklin County, *the Harmony, Ore City, Union Hill, and Winnsboro school districts, *the portion of the Pewitt Consolidated Independent School District located outside Morris County, and *the portion of the Pittsburg Independent School District located within Upshur County. ==History== In January 1984, the voters of Camp, Morris, and Titus counties approved a community college district for the area. The campus (centrally located among the county seats of Daingerfield, Pittsburg, and Mount Pleasant) and facilities were quickly chosen and constructed – by the fall semester of 1985 the first classes were held. As a relatively modern campus with all new construction, NTCC has kept its main campus buildings of uniform appearance – all buildings are constructed of earth-tone brick with copper-tone metal roofs. In 2010, the College opened the new Elizabeth Hoggatt Whatley Agriculture complex, a Platinum-LEED certified classroom complex featuring the latest in alternative energy and environmentally-friendly technologies. The "net-zero" (producing more energy annually than it consumes) building is home to a ''Sustainable Agriculture'' program which teaches people to farm small acreages using a mixture of traditional and alternative farm methods, good business practices, and sensitivity to the long term environmental impact. In addition to the main campus, the College has the Industrial Technology Training Center in Mount Pleasant, and outreach centers in Naples, Tx, and Pittsburg, Tx. The Culinary Arts program is also in Pittsburg. The mission of the college is to offer "responsible and exemplary learning opportunities." The college song is "Eagles Soaring On." NTCC is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees. Three members are from Titus County, and two members each are from Morris and Camp counties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northeast Texas Community College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
