DIFFERENCE First organized as Tate County Agricultural High School in 1915, the school began to offer college level classes in the fall of 1926. A fully sanctioned junior college, later named Northwest Mississippi Junior College and accredited by the Mis- sissippi Junior College Accrediting Association, opened its doors to fif- ty-nine students. By the end of its third decade of operation the cur- riculum had expanded from a basic program of liberal arts and agricul- ture to include science, art, and journalism in addition to a variety of vocational-technical courses. The original three buildings had been supplemented with a cafeteria, ad- ditional dormitory and classroom space, sports and recreational fa- cilities, and acreage for a model farm. In 1953 the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools com- mended Northwest as a bargain in educational facilities and granted the college its coveted accredita- tion. During the next few years the college continued to prove that it deserved this honor by broadening its capacity to serve the needs of the eleven-county district it had grown to encompass. A bus route began to provide free transportation for com- muters, while night classes and off- campus courses offered extended educational services. Today North- west is comprised of five campuses which, along with the farm, repre- sent a capital outlay of more than $35 million. In addition to the main seventy-five acre campus in Senatobia, the college includes DeSoto Center, Lafayette-Yalobusha Technical Center, Benton-Marshall Center and Olive Branch Center. At the end of almost six decades of growth and the beginning of the school ' s seventh administration, the mission of Northwest remains true to the vision of its founders. North- west strives today, as it did in 1926, to continue making a difference in the lives of its students.
