- Jones County Junior College
Jones County Junior College is a junior college located in Ellisville, Mississippi. JCJC serves its eight-county district consisting of Clarke, Covington, Greene, Jasper, Jones, Perry, Smith and Wayne counties.
History
JCJC was established in 1911 as an agricultural high school to serve Jones County, beginning with five faculty members and 85 students. In 1922 the Mississippi Legislature authorized the inclusion of college courses in agricultural high schools. In response to the needs of students in the area, Jones County Agricultural High School and Junior College began to serve the citizens of Jones County in 1927. The JCJC district soon expanded to include seven additional counties: Clarke, Covington, Greene, Jasper, Perry, Smith, and Wayne. In 1957 Jones County Agricultural High School was separated from the junior college as a result of the reorganization plan for the public schools of the state of Mississippi.

The college holds membership in the Mississippi Association of Colleges, the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges and the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges.
