By now you've probably heard about Pickleball, but have you given it a try? NTCC's continuing education Pickleball class is back by popular demand! There's never been a better time to get some exercise and have a great time making new friends and learning about this exciting sport.
It is officially summer at Northeast Texas Community College and the campus is buzzing with activity. For the past few weeks we have highlighted some of the special programs taking place at NTCC this summer. This week’s Summer Spotlight feature is Kids Discovery College!
The NTCC Continuing Education Department wrapped up its third pickleball class June 29th. Thirteen students completed the course.
"We have seen a huge increase in interest in these classes since we first started offering them this spring. I think people are realizing how much fun the sport is on top of being great exercise," Jimmy Smith, Director of Continuing Education and Corporate Training, said.
The Northeast Texas Community College Professional Driving Academy continues to grow and supply high-demand CDL drivers to the local area. One new student recently graduated from the program.
