Since 1998, JWCC’s main campus has grown significantly. In 2002, two new buildings, approximately 103,000 square feet in size, were opened, offering the latest in technology in classrooms, labs and support areas.

A fourth major building for the main campus, the Paul Heath Community Education and Fine Arts Center, opened in the fall 2004. This 52,000-square foot facility houses the College’s community education and adult education/literacy programs, the workforce development center, the fine arts program, and the Adams County RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program).

Trail Blazer Definition: Great People are defined as respectable, trustworthy, and responsible. This group of people do what they need to do to be successful – in the short term and the long term. They do not point fingers, they accept responsibility, and look for the next opportunity to make a positive impact. Great People strive to be great at everything they do – with their family, in the classroom, in the training arena, and on the basketball floor. Are you Great? Reading to grade schools, basketball camps and clinics, DARE presentations are all opportunities for us to showcase the great people in our program and have an impact in the community. Trail Blazer Definition: Serious Students are students that are willing to put in the necessary time and effort to succeed in the classroom. Understanding that each individual learns differently, the pressure is on the student-athlete to identify their learning style and their effort. As a program, we expect serious students to abide by our academic success guidelines, to set a goal to graduate and succeed in that goal, and have great pride in their academic achievements.

John Wood Community College has an active Student Support Services Department that is available for tutoring and study skill sessions. Trail Blazer Definition: Good players make basketball plays. They understand when to be aggressive and when to pick their spots. Good players are instinctive in their game, yet understand the entire system. Good players defend each play like it is their last and protect the basketball at every opportunity. Good players are tough minded, coachable, and want to play within a system that allows 5 players on the floor to play as one. Are you Good? 2019-2020 Schedule Highlights Not All Schedules Are Equal
