School Notes
In 1967 an abandoned prison compound located near the Village
of Union was purchased. Under the leadership of the State Rep.
Roberts H. Jernigan, Jr., and with the support of Sen. J. J. "Monk"
Harrington and Rep. Emmett Burden, funds to establish a two-year,
vocational and technical training institution in Hertford County
were provided by the North Carolina General Assembly. Originally
called Roanoke-Chowan Technical Institute, the institution's name
changed to Roanoke-Chowan Technical College in 1981 and to
Roanoke-Chowan Community College in 1987. The 41-acre RCCC campus
boasts five modern classroom buildings. Also, a seven-acre
Arboretum/Environmental Science Outdoor Laboratory is part of the
campus. It has been designated as a Project WILD Education Site by
the NC Wildlife Resources Commission. The site is open to the
public for self-guided tours and is used as part of curricular and
continuing education classroom instruction. More than 20 curricular
programs now are offered in which students can earn associate in
arts degrees, associate in science degrees, associate in applied
science degrees, and associate in general education degrees, as
well as diplomas and certificates. The College also has taken
greater strides to provide transfer opportunities for students to
pursue higher-level degrees. Through the North Carolina Community
College System, a formal transfer agreement has been established
with the 16-member University of North Carolina System, as well as
with a variety of private colleges.
