  • 1970s Waxahachie Center
    RIBBON CUTTING OF THE WAXAHACHIE CENTER

    In 1983, Dr. Kenneth Walker and Ellis County officials were present at the dedication of the Waxahachie Center. This facility was later replaced with a permanent location - a 37,000 square-foot structure on John Arden Drive in 1991.

    BARRACKS BUNCH REUNION

    In 1980, an annual reunion was held for the group of first ever students who graduated during the years 1947-1951. They were called the Barracks Bunch because all of their classes were taken in barracks on the original NJC site. Approximately 800 students were part of the group.
