History
The Bee County Junior College District was created at an election on November 2, 1965. That election resulted from several years of study and work to establish a community college for Bee County, Texas. Support was shown in an overwhelming five-to-one majority for the creation of the district. The desire for a community college was demonstrated again on December 7, 1965, when district citizens approved a tax to support Bee County College (also known as BCC), and to issue bonds to build the college.
The board of trustees selected Grady C. Hogue as the first BCC President. BCC opened in September, 1967, with 790 students, 24 full-time instructors and 11 part-time teachers.
