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 offering eLearning
degrees online. Since 2003, the College has been listed in the Top Ten Digital Savvy
Colleges in the small college category by the Center of Digital Education
and Converge magazine. 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.
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 and 2013 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. Dr. Gregory Powell, Panola
College President, received the Stephen F. Austin State University Distinguished
Alumnus Award in 2013.

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 23,100 households for the years 2008 through 2012. This

period. Sixteen percent of Harrison County households earn less than $15,000 per year and
6% earn more than $150,000 annually. Statewide 13% of households earn less than $15,000
and 9% earn more than $150,000 annually. The average unemployment rate in the county over
the past five years is 8% compared to 7.7% statewide average for the same time period 7.
In 2013 the county-wide annual average food stamp recipients was down 2% from the
previous year. During 2013, an average of 9,766 people received SNAP and 9,911 people were
enrolled in Medicaid, including families and children. 8 It was recently estimated that 16% of
Harrison County residents live below the poverty level, compared to 17.4% rate statewide. 9

Harleton, Karnack, Marshall, and Waskom ISD with an estimated grade 7-12 enrollment of
5,700 and an average dropout rate of 1.0% compared to the state dropout rate of 1.7%. 10
Tracking May 2012 graduates, 60% of Elysian Fields High School graduates and 8% of
Marshall High School graduates who were known to have enrolled in a public Texas college
for fall 2012 enrolled in Panola College. Panola College information was not available from

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. 26
Panola County had an average of 8,870 households between 2008 and 2012. This represents an
