   If you've always wanted to learn how to decorate a cake, cook like a chef or be the neighbor with the amazing the lawn and flower garden JCJC can help!  The Culinary Arts department is offering two different courses over the summer and the Horticulture department is offering Monday night non-credit courses.  

  Classes begin in June.  Click on the link for details: Culinary Arts and Horticulture Non-credit courses 

  The spring commencement exercises were notable for several reasons this year.  A record number of students were eligible to graduate and almost everyone 'walked' or participated in the graduation ceremony, which prompted some changes.  Two ceremonies were held for the first time!  To read more about the class of 2012 click on the link to Kelly Atwood's story:   JCJC graduates record numbers 

  It's not easy coming back to college after leaving the classroom for several years.  However one Jones County native decided to not only sign up for classes but to also enter a traditionally male-dominated industry.   

  Ronni Welborn has further distinguished herself as the first female to graduate from Jones' relatively new, Electrical Technology program.

  Just because you aren't on the JCJC campus every day doesn't mean you can't play an important role in the Centennial Celebration. Anyone can join the Centennial Celebration by becoming a "Bobcat 100" donor.

  The "Bobcat 100" is an Alumni Centennial Campaign honoring our 100-year heritage while simultaneously providing resources that will allow us to enter our next century with confidence.

  You are invited to join the growing group of individuals who have become part of the "Bobcat 100." All we ask for is a donation of $100 to commemorate Jones' rich history and give you an opportunity to continue inspiring greatness as we move into the next century.

  Our goal is to present 100 Centennial Scholarships to deserving students for the 2012-13 school year.

  Make checks payable to the JCJC Foundation "Bobcat 100" and mail to

900 South Court Street, Ellisville, MS 39437.
