Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) is a community college serving the Northeast Texas region. The campus is set on 375 acres (1.52 km) in rural Titus County near the community of Chapel Hill, approximately seven miles southeast of Mount Pleasant, the county seat. As defined by the Texas Legislature, the official service area of NTCC comprises the following: In January 1984, the voters of Camp, Morris, and Titus counties approved a community college district for the area. The campus (centrally located among the county seats of Daingerfield, Pittsburg, and Mount Pleasant) and facilities were quickly chosen and constructed – by the fall semester of 1985 the first classes were held. As a relatively modern campus with all new construction, NTCC has managed to keep all its buildings of uniform appearance – all buildings are constructed of earth-tone brick with copper-tone metal roofs. Along with the human scale of the architecture, NTCC's faculty strive to be personable and supportive. The mission of the college is to offer "responsible and exemplary learning opportunities." The college song is "Eagles Soaring On." NTCC is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees.
