Kenny Goodson of Hughes Springs is a master of today’s intersection between original musical composition, and high-tech software which helps to facilitate the conversion of musical ideas to published scores. In 1995, Goodson initiated MADD Creations which provides original and adapted scores for marching bands throughout the state. In addition to being a former band director at Mount Pleasant, and other high schools, Goodson is the former Director of Computer Services at Northeast Texas Community College. With this wealth of experience, Goodson is also scoring a third, feature-length NTCC Webb/honors film in as many years.

The NTCC Foundation has more than 300 scholarships available for the 2022-2023 academic year. The scholarships are not directly tied to FAFSA eligibility, so you may receive a scholarship even if you don’t qualify for PELL grants. What’s the catch? You have to apply!
Ruben Guerrero, an NTCC Honors Scholar, is the winner of a $50 Tribute Award for his achievements with acting and debating last fall.
Guerrero maintains two roles in the upcoming Webb/Honors film on Carroll Shelby to be premiered this 25 March at the Whatley Auditorium. In one of the most engaging scenes of the film, he plays Shelby patron, Roy Cherryhomes, with a southern accent. According to the book, Carroll Shelby byRinsey Mills, Cherryhomes helped make Shelby a great racer, but was also a very divisive figure in the early Dallas racing circles. In the scene, based on the book, Cherryhomes gets into a fight over his assumed right to sit on a dishwasher. Guerrero explores ethnic nuances as well with his second character, Dr. Alfredo Trento, the California surgeon who gave Shelby his second heart. Guerrero’s accent and hand motions again provide the verisimilitude which makes the scene stand out.

Young people these days are lazy. Nobody wants to work anymore. Students just want college given to them. In a time where stereotypes like these have become widely accepted, Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) is finding the opposite to be true with its innovative Work4College Program.
About 10 years ago, administrators at the small rural college started looking for solutions to rising student loan debt. Like many institutions nationwide, they were seeing higher loan amounts and an increase in default rates.
