School Notes:
- Founded in 1968, East Central College was established to serve the educational needs of people in east central Missouri. One year after voters created the college district, classes were first held in temporary facilities at Union Memorial Auditorium. That same year, 114-acre tract of land was purchased for what is now the main campu
- The Administration Building was the first facility built on campus, and it was completed in 1971. The Multipurpose Building came next in 1973, followed by the Vocational-Technical Building in 1978 and the Classroom Building in 1985. Our most recent addition to the main campus is the new classroom/auditorium facility constructed in 1997-98. The campus now encompasses over 200 acres and the college also has facilities in Washington, St. Clair, and Sullivan. Courses are also offered in Rolla and other communities in the region.
- The college offers courses and programs at several off-campus facilities, in addition to the Main Campus. As interest warrants, classes are offered at area high schools and other locations throughout the district. Off-campus locations includes Four Rivers Career Center, Rolla Technical Center and Southwest Area Center.
- The Customized Training Department at East Central College specializes in training to meet the needs for both the local business and industry and the individual. Customized Training provides a myriad of courses and workshops in areas such as management, accounting and finance, manufacturing, hospitality, electronics, computers, quality, and technology.

At age nineteen, Justin Lawrence does not sport an intimidating physique. Barefoot on a wrestling mat, he stands a stocky five-foot-eight, if you measure to the tippy top of his spiked blond flattop.
