Mississippi Delta Community College

Originally called Sunflower Junior College, the college was formed in conjunction with Sunflower County Agricultural High School in 1927. With its first freshman class enrolling that September, the college became a fully accredited junior college by the Accrediting Commission of the Senior Colleges of Mississippi in April 1928. The name was changed to Mississippi Delta Junior College in 1960 and to Mississippi Delta Community College in 1989.[2]
