Our Mission:

The mission of Alpena Community College is to meet lifelong learning needs by providing educational opportunities through effective stewardship of resources.

About Us:

One of the first and most important steps for success at college - and in life - is to plan for it. We have many services that can help you. By using them, you'll get the maximum value from all Alpena Community College offers for the time and money you're investing in your future.

History:

Founded in 1952, Alpena Community College offered classes at Alpena High School (then on Second Avenue) until the current campus was established in 1957. We were part of the Alpena K-14 public school system until 1979, when district voters decided the college should be independent and governed by its own Board of Trustees.

Several additions and expansions over the years - including the establishment of the Huron Shores Campus in 1969 - helped us accommodate the growing demand for educational programs, while extending our services throughout the entire Northeast Michigan region.
