School Notes
JCC was founded as Jackson Junior College in 1928 and operated as a
division of the Jackson Union School District, sharing lab and
library facilities with the high school. In 1962, Jackson County
voters created Jackson Community College as a distinct entity; in
1964, they passed a charter millage that still funds the College
today. Rapid enrollment and program growth in the 1960s spurred JCC
to build a new campus on its present site. Today, the College owns
more than 500 acres and sits on a scenic suburban site six miles
south of the city of Jackson, with extension centers in Lenawee and
Hillsdale counties. An integral educational and economic force in
the Jackson-Lenawee-Hillsdale communities, JCC operates on a $27
million general fund budget. JCC has 94 full-time faculty (90
percent have postgraduate degrees in their field). 228 full-time
personnel are employed at JCC, 6% fewer than one year ago. An
additional 278 people work part-time. JCC has enjoyed continuous
accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools since 1933, the first year of eligibility.
