Last week, NCCC had the pleasure of hosting Marshall High School Juniors on our campus!

Students had the opportunity to explore the programs NCCC offers while also giving back to the community. They earned community service hours by helping Leslie Mayor Eric Jeager with yard clean-up, picking up trash along city streets, and assisting with setup for the Community Picnic.

It was a fantastic week filled with learning, teamwork, and service. We’re proud of these students for making a positive impact!
