As defined by the Texas Legislature, the official service area of CBC is comprised of the following:
Enrollment in academic, workforce education and continuing education classes during the spring of 2006 was 3,534. The Beeville campus of CBC serves the educational needs of more than 1,300 students. The district services a rural community of some 9,000 square miles. It is also one of the region's most significant economic contributors.
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.
