History of CCC
Insert information about history of CCC [edit] Central Community College is a locally governed comprehensive community college serving 25-county area in central Nebraska. This area encompasses 14,000 square miles and has a population of about 300,000. CCC’s Kearney Center began in 1958 as a practical nursing education program sponsored by Kearney Public Schools. Area Vocational School #1 (later known as Central Nebraska Technical College) opened in 1966 at the former Hastings naval ammunition depot as Nebraska’s first multi-county area vocational-technical college, serving a 17-county area. The Kearney practical nursing program became part of Central Nebraska Technical College in 1970. Platte Junior College in Columbus opened in 1969 as Nebraska’s first county-supported communinty college, taking its name from Platte County. In 1971 the state legislature enacted a law that formed six community college areas in Nebraska and required that all counties in the state become part of one of the areas. As a result of this legislation, Central Nebraska Technical College and Platte Junior College merged in 1973 to form Central Community College. An additional eight counties petitioned to join the area, bringing the total to 25. The central administration for the college was located in Grand Island in 1974 and the Grand Island Campus was established in 1976. The Lexington Center was established in 1977 to extend educational services to a four-county area. It operates under the administration of the Grand Island Campus. The Holdrege Center opened in 1995 to enhance education¬al services provided by CCC in the southwest quadrant of its service area. It operates under the administration of the Hastings Campus.
