Holmes Community College is a public community college with its main campus in Goodman, Mississippi.[1] It also has campuses in Grenada and Ridgeland, and satellite campuses in Attala, Webster, and Yazoo counties.
Holmes Community College was established in 1911, when plans were made to found Holmes County Agricultural High School in Goodman, Mississippi. The town of Goodman provided 40 acres (160,000 m2) of land (along with free water from the community's artesian well) on the west side of town, and the Board of Trustees purchased an additional 42 acres (170,000 m2) adjacent to the original school location. The mascot of Holmes Community College is the bulldog.
It was previously Holmes Junior College (HJC).[2]
