Henderson Community College has been changing lives for more than 43 years. The College was established in 1960 as a result of the efforts of several dedicated community members who raised enough awareness and support to make the College a reality.

Henderson Community College is recognized for offering quality, accessible and affordable educational opportunities close to home. Known for its qualified and caring leadership, faculty and staff, HCC provides personal attention and support to students, offering a quality education that fosters the ideals of lifelong learning and leadership.

Henderson Community College recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Henderson Fine Arts Center located on the campus. Over the years, patrons have had the opportunity to view outstanding theatrical productions and art exhibits. Recently, HCC began a new chapter in its educational journey with a focus on learning-centeredness. This new focus has resulted in a culture where the learners' needs are the driving force in decision making. Providing students with the opportunity to meaningfully shape their learning experience is just one way HCC continues to expand the collaborative learning environment.





Over the past five years, enrollment at HCC has increased by 88 percent. New degree, diploma and certificate programs continue to be added in response to local employer and workforce needs. Enrollment projections indicate that this trend will be ongoing.
