History
Halifax Community College was chartered on September 7, 1967, as Halifax County Technical Institute, part of the North Carolina Community College System. It began operations in February 1968 under Phillip W. Taylor, and from June 1968 to April 1977 was located at the old Colonial Manor Hotel property on Highway 301. The current 109-acre campus, centrally located on Highway 158 in Weldon, was purchased in 1972, built in 1975, 1976 and 1977, and dedicated on May 22, 1977.
In 1971, a general education program was added, by contract with East Carolina University. After several years of study, and following legislative approval in 1975, Halifax County Technical Institute added two-year transfer programs to become a comprehensive community college. On July 1, 1976, the Institute's name officially changed to Halifax Community College.
Growth in enrollment has been accompanied by growth in facilities, including centers for continuing education, wellness, child care, allied health, literacy/science education, nursing, and student services, as well as The Centre at Halifax Community College, a 1500-seat multipurpose theater and conference facility that opened in November 2003.
The fourth and current president, Ervin V. Griffin, Sr., took office December 1, 2006.
