About Panola College
Panola College is a comprehensive public community college serving the citizens of
Harrison, Marion, Panola, and Shelby counties. Founded in 1947, Panola College has
a rich tradition of helping students achieve their academic and personal goals.
Enrollment at the College has grown from fewer than 100 students at the first
registration in January of 1948 to its highest enrollment of 2,701 in the fall of 2013.
The College provides many services that enrich the lives of individuals in the region
by offering a wide range of educational and training opportunities to citizens of all
ages. Students can choose from a variety of technical programs that provide quick
employment and career enhancement opportunities, or they can pursue a two-year
associate degree and academic courses for transfer to a four-year university.
Panola College offers courses through its main campus in Carthage and at centers in
Marshall and Center, Texas. Panola College is also a leader in eLearning. In 2014 the
College was listed in the “Top 10 Digital Community Colleges” in the small college
category by the Center of Digital Education, an honor the College has received most
years since 2003. The Digital Colleges Survey identifies and spotlights colleges that
provide high level technology ranging from online registration, distance learning,
advisory services, to technology training for students and faculty. Seven degrees and
five certificates are offered online through Canvas Learning Management System,
among them an Associate Degree in Nursing.
Panola College provides numerous cultural events to the local community. Patrons of
the arts can choose from a wide selection of plays, concerts, lectures, and art exhibits
presented annually at the College. For those who prefer athletic competition, Panola
College is home to the Panola Ponies and Fillies intercollegiate basketball, volleyball,
baseball and rodeo teams.
An associate degree from Panola College is equivalent to the first two years of a fouryear degree but at a fraction of the cost charged by state and private universities.
Graduates transfer to a wide range of four-year institutions that include Texas A&M
University, the University of Texas at Tyler, East Texas Baptist University, Stephen F.
Austin State University, Louisiana State University and many others.
In 2012, 2013, and 2014 Panola College was recognized as a “Great College to Work
For” by The Chronicle of Higher Education and was one of only twelve Honor Roll
community colleges in the United States. Only four Honor Roll small community
colleges (enrollment less that 2,999) were recognized.

When the population cohort of ages 45 and over is higher than the state average, as it is in
Harrison County, this suggests a stable, mature population comprised of mainly "emptynesters," retirees and the aged. When the age 25-44 cohort is higher than the state average, this
is a healthy economic situation since this group contains the greatest share of the productive
labor force. Decreases over time in this group as is the case in Harrison County, especially
when similar changes are not occurring statewide, can be an indication that people are moving
out of an area they consider to be a poor labor market. 5
Harrison County had an average of 23,415 households for the years 2009 through 2013. This
represents an average of 2.76 persons per household. Statewide, there were also 2.82 persons
per household during the same time period with roughly 8.9 million Texas households. In
2013 an estimated 25.3% of Harrison County residents were children under age 18 – these are
our potential college students. 6
Local industry consists primarily of education, health services, social services, manufacturing,
and retail trade. The average median household income for Harrison County between 2009
and 2013 was $45,675, compared with a state average median income of $51,900 for that same
period. Sixteen percent of Harrison County households earn less than $15,000 per year and
5.8% earn more than $150,000 annually. Statewide 13% of households earn less than $15,000
and 9.5% earn more than $150,000 annually. The average unemployment rate in the county
over the past five years is 9.6% compared to 8.1% statewide average for the same time
period 7.
It was recently estimated that 16.0% of Harrison County residents live below the poverty level,
compared to 17.6% rate statewide. 8
There are six independent school districts in Harrison County: Elysian Fields, Hallsville,
Harleton, Karnack, Marshall, and Waskom ISD with an estimated grade 7-12 enrollment of
5,795 and an average dropout rate of 0.7% compared to the state dropout rate of 1.6%. 9

High School graduates, and 29% of Waskom High School graduates who were known to have
enrolled in a public Texas college for fall 2013 enrolled in Panola College. Panola College

Two or more races also are included in other race categories. For this reason, the total percentage may be
more than 100%.

Population projections by age for Texas and Panola County, Texas for 2014 were obtained from the Texas
State Data Center and Office of the State Demographer.
16
If the population cohort 45 and over is higher than the state average, as it is in Panola County,
this suggests a stable, mature population comprised of mainly "empty-nesters," retirees and the
aged. When the 25-44-age cohort is higher than the state average, this is a healthy economic
situation since this group contains the greatest share of the productive labor force. Decreases
over time in this group, as is the case with Panola County, especially when similar changes are
not occurring statewide, can be an indication that people are moving out of an area they
consider to be a poor labor market. 24
Panola County had an average of 8,873 households between 2009 and 2013. This represents an
average of 2.63 persons per household. Statewide, there were 2.82 persons per household in
for that same period with roughly 8.9 million Texas households. In 2013 it was estimated
24.2% of Panola County residents are children under age 18 – these are our potential college
students. 25
Local industry consists primarily of education, health care, social services, agribusiness,
forestry, recreational fishing and hunting, and mining. The average median household income
between 2009 and 2013 was $52,453; compared to the state average median household income
of $51,900 for that same period. Fourteen percent of Panola County households earn less than
$15,000 per year and 18.1% earn more than $150,000 annually. Statewide 13% of households
earn less than $15,000 and 9.5% earn more than $150,000 annually. The average
unemployment rate in the county over the past five years is 6.4% compared to 8.1% statewide
average for the same time period. 26 It has been estimated that 12.7% of Panola County
residents live below the poverty level, compared to 17.6 % rate statewide. 27
There are three independent school districts and one charter school in the county: Beckville,
Carthage, Gary ISD and Panola Charter School with an estimated grade 7-12 enrollment of
1,975 and an average dropout rate of 1.4% compared to the state dropout rate of 1.6%. 28
Tracking May 2013 graduates, 68% of Beckville High School graduates, 67% of Carthage
High School graduates, 79% of Gary High School graduates, and 50% of Panola Charter
School graduates who were known to have enrolled in a Texas public college for fall 2013

As the library collection has increasingly included electronic items, the number of volumes
measurement has become obsolete. Ebooks do not count volumes, but in terms of titles only.
Beginning in 2013 the Internet count includes database resources and streaming videos.

Beginning in 2013 the title count will include both print and electronic titles of books and
periodicals.
