Mission statement

"Being responsive to the diverse communities we serve, our mission at MCC is to be an accessible, student-centered, comprehensive community college that promotes and fosters the intellectual, cultural, and economic vibrancy of our region."

History

New Hampshire's system of post-secondary vocational-technical education developed in response to conditions in New Hampshire following the end of World War II. Recognizing that many soldiers, sailors and airmen, among others, would be demobilized and in need of retraining for civilian life, two State Trade Schools were developed. Since that time, the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) has grown to include four colleges comprising seven institutions.

In the early 1980s, the school had a highly visible solar building facing Interstate 293. The building was demolished in 2007 to make way for a new Health Science & Technology building.

The New Hampshire Legislature and Governor passed a law enabling the Board to increase the number of Colleges from four to seven, "uncoupling" campuses that had been administratively merged prior to 2005. The Board's decision reflects the growth of the colleges, and the increasing demands and opportunities before the CCSNH colleges as they strive to be responsive to the needs of students, businesses, communities and the state.

On January 30, 2008, the name changed from New Hampshire Community Technical College (NHCTC) at Manchester to Manchester Community College.
