Hutchinson Community College (HutchCC or HCC) is a public community college in Hutchinson, Kansas. It serves nearly 5,000 credit students every semester.

History

The college was established in the spring of 1928 as Hutchinson Junior College, and held its first classes that fall. [1] On July 1, 1965, the name was changed to Hutchinson Community Junior College, then in 1980 to Hutchinson Community College.

On July 1, 1993, Hutchinson Community College was renamed once again to Hutchinson Community College and Area Vocational School after a merger with the local vocational school. In 2012, the vocational school addition was removed, and the institution finally became known as Hutchinson Community College.
