A quarter century ago, Amarillo College and long-time Dumas residents planted a bold idea in the Texas Panhandle: that higher education should be within reach for every resident of Moore County. On Thursday, Oct. 16, the community is invited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that vision—the establishment of AC’s Moore County Campus.

Amarillo College will host Dual Credit Days in Dumas and Hereford this month, inviting students and their families to learn more about dual credit opportunities.“There are so many questions students, and their families have about dual credit,” said Sandra De La Rosa, AC’s director of secondary partnerships and dual credit. “We want to help them navigate this excellent option for high school students by providing everything they need to enroll and take full advantage of the opportunity.”
