                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 27, 2010

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I proudly rise today to celebrate the 
10th Anniversary of the Corinth, Texas Campus of North Central Texas 
College.
  For the past decade, NCTC-Corinth has provided thousands of North 
Texas residents with an opportunity to pursue higher education. The 
Corinth Campus first opened in 2000, and today is educating more than 
4,000 students. The Corinth campus shares in the longstanding tradition 
of academic excellence that is characteristic of NCTC, the oldest 
continuously operating two-year college in the entire state of Texas.
  The NCTC-Corinth campus offers a variety of vocational degrees and 
certificate programs, as well as college credit courses and continuing 
education units. The first-class education NCTC-Corinth's students 
receive prepare them to join the area's workforce as well-trained 
professionals.
  NCTC-Corinth has been an invaluable asset to the many communities 
that call North Texas home, serving its students well. I have no doubt 
this trend will continue well into the future and impact many more 
students, as NCTC-Corinth is planning for future growth that its 
administrators anticipate will be able to serve some 12,000 students in 
the coming years.
  Madam Speaker, it is with great honor that I rise today to honor the 
10th Anniversary of the opening of North Central Texas College's 
Corinth campus. I am proud to represent Texas' 26th Congressional 
District, which is home to this fine educational institution.
