We are delighted you are considering East Mississippi Community College for your post-secondary or workforce development needs. East Mississippi Community College was established in 1927 and emerged out of the historic Kemper County Agricultural High School in Scooba, Mississippi. As part of the Mississippi Community College system, East Mississippi was specifically designed to serve the people of Clay, Kemper, Lauderdale, Lowndes, Noxubee, and Oktibbeha counties in east central Mississippi. In the mid-1960s, the Golden Triangle Campus was established to provide university-parallel academic tracks as well as industry-relevant career-technical pathways.
