School Description
Provided by Panola CollegePanola College shapes its mission around the needs of the people within its service area since its inception. As a two-year, public community institution, Panola College is dedicated to providing excellence in education for its constituents. The range of educational offerings includes university transfer programs, technical and workforce programs, developmental courses designed to remedy academic deficiencies, and continuing education to enrich lives and improve skills.
As a community college serving both commuter and residential students, Panola College provides the advantages of attending a major university on a small college campus. We are large enough to offer a variety of academic and technical courses of studies but small enough not to lose sight of our commitment of being student centered. We pride ourselves on individual attention and smiling faces.
In just more than 60 years, Panola College has grown in both size and in the scope of its services offered to its students and its community. The school, which was established in 1947, was created to provide young people with the opportunity to earn the first two years of a traditional baccalaureate. The services the College offers have expanded greatly to meet community needs, providing a wide range of educational and training opportunities to citizens of all ages.
Enrollment at the College has grown from fewer than 100 students at the first registration in January of 1948 to over 1,800. The College provides many services which enrich the lives of individuals in the region.
Our main campus is located in the heart of the East Texas piney woods. Carthage is one of America's favorite small towns: quiet, safe, and family friendly. And we think it's a perfect place to learn!
Panola College
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaPanola College is a community college located in Carthage, Texas. The name derives from Panola County, Texas, of which Carthage is the county seat.
As defined by the Texas Legislature, the official service area of Panola College is the following:
- all of Marion, Panola, and Shelby Counties, and
- all of Harrison County excluding the territory within the Hallsville Independent School District.
History
Panola College was established in 1947, and began operations in January 1948 at the corner of State Highway 315 and U.S. Highway 79, where it continues to operate today. The first permanent buildings were erected in 1949.
In 1995, the adjacent counties of Harrison (excluding parts as noted above), Marion, and Shelby were added by law to Panola's designated service area. Panola operates branch locations in Marshall and Center.
The college also serves residents of nearby Louisiana parishes (as Panola County is on the state border) and Air Force members stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base.
Panola's retired history professor Bill O'Neal, among his more than thirty published books, published Panola Junior College: The First Twenty-Five Years in 1973. He updated the volume as Panola College, 1947-1997 for the fiftieth anniversary of the institution.
