It all began back in 1965 out of a local grassroots effort by community members to provide high-quality, post-secondary education. Seems like not so long ago we celebrated our 50th anniversary, but here we are today, celebrating six decades of strengthening the connection between education, industry, and community partners to prepare our students with skills and opportunities to thrive.
Let's Party!
Our 60th Anniversary Gala is coming up on Thursday, October 1, from 6:30-10:30pm at the Douglas County School District Legacy Campus. Join us for all the festivities, including, food, entertainment, live music, and more! Your purchase of tickets to the Gala benefits the ACC Foundation in support of our student scholarship fund.
