History
In 1928, the Legislature of the State of Mississippi adopted the first laws for the organization and operation of Mississippi public junior colleges. East Central Community College opened its doors to a freshman class of twenty students for the first regular session in September 1928. Originally the institution was supported by three counties; Newton, Neshoba and Scott. Later they were joined by Leake and Winston counties.
The college occupied buildings that were a part of the Newton County Agricultural High School, which had been organized in 1914. The Agricultural High School was located on property belonging to the Decatur Municipal School District, which had been created in 1912. The upper high school grades which comprised the Newton County Agricultural High School were a part of the college until 1958 when they joined the Decatur Attendance Center.
