Cisco Junior College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Cisco Junior College is a community college located one mile (1.6 km) north of Cisco, Texas, a small town between Fort Worth and Abilene, Texas.

As defined by the Texas Legislature, the official service area of Cisco Junior College is the following:

  • all of Callahan, Coleman, and Taylor Counties, and
  • the Cisco Independent School District.

History

Cisco Junior College was established in 1909 when O.C. Britton, prominent early-day educator, gained the support of far-sighted Cisco citizens in opening a private school known as Britton Training Institute. This school operated successfully until military involvement in World War I so depleted the number of students that it was forced to close.

In 1923 the Christian Church of Texas reopened the institution as Randolph College and operated it until 1932 as a four-year church-related school. Financial shortages plagued the college, and from 1932 until 1936 officials tried to keep the school open as a two-year junior college. When this effort failed, the college was again closed.

On 1939 May 8, after months of planning and consultation with state officials, Cisco citizens succeeded in getting enacted into legislation a bill which created Cisco Junior College as a part of the Cisco Independent School District. R.N. Cluck, superintendent of Cisco schools, who had devoted years to the project, became its first president. Randolph College properties were purchased, and the college was formally opened in September 1939. The first students were received in 1940. Such was the success of this venture that in 1956 the college was separated from the public schools, and a Board of Regents was elected.

Today, Cisco Junior College serves the West Central Texas area in two locations—the main campus at Cisco and an educational center at Abilene. CJC is a vibrant two-year institution that offers a variety of academic transfer and career and technical education programs. It is an affordable, accessible college that provides practical educational options for its students.
