JC was founded as Jackson Junior College in 1928 and operated as a division of the Jackson Union School District. In 1962, Jackson County voters created Jackson Community College as a distinct entity; and in 1964, they passed a charter millage that still helps to fund the College today. Rapid enrollment and program growth in the 1960s spurred leadership to build a new campus on its present site. Today, the College owns more than 500 acres and sits on a scenic rural site six miles south of the city of Jackson, and also operates the W.J. Maher Campus in Jackson, JC @ LISD TECH in Adrian, and the Clyde E. LeTarte Center Hillsdale. An integral educational and economic force in the Jackson, Lenawee and Hillsdale communities, the College operates on general fund budget of nearly $42 million.
