100 years of Tradition & Progress

Our history began in September 1917 when Hinds County Agricultural High School opened in the small town of Raymond. These humble beginnings included an Administration Building, two dormitories, and a dairy barn, eight faculty and 117 students. Fast forward 100 years later and you have the largest community college and the fourth largest institution of higher learning in the state of Mississippi.

Faculty

Hinds faculty members bring a wealth of academic, career and life experience to the classroom. They are dedicated to helping students excel and reach their full potential. You will get the personal attention in small class sizes from faculty who know your name.
