Highland Community College

School Overview:

School Notes:

• Highland Community College, the first college in Kansas, promotes lifelong learning by efficiently providing educational opportunities for our students, our employees, and our northeast Kansas constituents.
• Highland Community College exists to serve the community which includes Doniphan County and other areas which the State Board of Education has assigned as the College's "service area." It serves by offering the community educational programs as well as cultural and recreational activities.
• In addition to offering comprehensive academic programming with over 60 degrees and certificates, Highland is a beacon of cultural opportunity. Our theatre, arts, music, literature and lecture series are popular throughout the area. And our Cougars have a strong record of athletic successes.
• We welcome our communities to take a stroll around our beautiful campus, enjoy the sounds of our many community choirs and musical groups, listen to a guest lecturer, watch an athletic event, and, perhaps, and enroll in a class or two. Witness first hand some of the many wonderful things happening at Highland Community College. Highland – an institution of exceptional quality – represents a bright, shining resource for northwest Illinois.
• For over 40 years the HCC Foundation has provided support to HCC and its students due to the wonderful generosity of many people.
