History
Johnson County Community College was the first new college recommended for creation under the Kansas Community Junior College Act of 1965. The district was established in June 1967.
In 1969, while county residents voted approval of $12.9 million in general obligation bonds to purchase more than 200 acres in Overland Park for a college campus, the first JCCC classes were conducted in leased facilities in Merriam, Kansas.
In 1972, classes and all operations were moved to the permanent campus on College Boulevard in Overland Park. By this time, the student body had increased from an initial 1,360 to more than 3,600.
Over the years, JCCC has continued to grow, significantly expanding its student enrollment, instructional program, faculty and staff, and facilities.

- What a great community college. JCCC provided a welcoming atmosphere for me to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I was very confused about what major I wanted to take, and it was pretty easy for me to take all sorts of classes. The professors were all caring and provided office hours for us.
This school will prepare you for higher level courses.
