Centennials for both Fort Scott and Garden City Community Colleges

 

Fort Scott Community College in Fort Scott, KS and Garden City Community College in Garden City, KS were both founded in 1919. The institutions initially were affiliated with their respective public schools and were known as junior colleges. They became independent after passage of the Community College Act in 1965 by the Kansas Legislature.

Garden City Community College kicked off its centennial celebration this week and you can read "GCCC begins centennial celebration" by Amber Friend in The Garden City Telegram.
