PHILADELPHIA, Miss. - East Central Community College will partner with the Neshoba County School District to start a Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology program at Neshoba Central High School. The collaboration features one of East Central's Career & Technical Education programs at the new Manufacturing and Innovation Center located on the NCHS campus. The Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology prepares students to manufacture precision parts on machines such as lathes, grinders, drill presses, milling machines, and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment. It allows students attending NCHS to complete a 30-hour for certification or a 45-hour option that would earn them an Associate of Applied Science degree from ECCC - plus 15 semester hours of general education courses. It's the first time ECCC has offered a complete academic program outside of its Decatur campus, according to ECCC President Brent Gregory.
