Celebrating 60 Years

Message from the NFC President

When NFC opened its doors in 1958, it was abundantly clear that our College, then known as North Florida Junior College, was built on a strong foundation fortified by the dedication and support of its district and community.

Today, the cornerstones of that foundation, our students, alumni, employees and community, continue to guide us and give us strength.

Thank you for helping make our 60th anniversary a year to remember.

John Grosskopf
NFC President
