School Notes
Sandhills Community College was established in December 1963 under
authority of the 1963 State Community College Act. Following the
leadership of Representative H. Clifton Blue, Moore County citizens
petitioned the State Board of Education for approval to establish a
community college in the county and voted overwhelmingly for a one
million dollar bond issue for construction and a tax levy for
operation and maintenance of facilities. Before the end of 1963, a
board of trustees had been named, an organizational meeting held,
an architect selected, and Dr. Raymond Stone chosen as first
president of the college. Today, the college is a modern,
fourteen-building campus with a new student center and
soon-to-be-completed educational technology building. The college's
presence and capabilities are also growing at its facility in Hoke
County where planning is underway to develop a second building—an
education center. The college offers three college transfer degrees
(Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Fine
Arts) and more than thirty technical programs leading to an
associate's degree, diploma or certificate. SCC ranks 10th in the
System in students who transfer to four-year colleges and
universities in NC. Continuing Education offers classes in areas
such as computers, community enrichment, basic skills education
(Adult High School, English as a Second Language, GED, etc.), small
business, public services (i.e. fire, law enforcement, and rescue),
occupational Spanish, and more. Sandhills Community College is
accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools to award the associate's
degree.
