In 1922, after Holmes County Agricultural High School had been in operation for 11 years, the legislature made it legal for agricultural high schools to add two years of college work, and Holmes Junior College opened its doors in 1925 offering the first year of college to students in Holmes and the surrounding counties.

Holmes Community College recognizes that emerging technologies are changing the methods of instructional delivery to include eLearning programs such as interactive classrooms, remote instruction, internet courses and other electronic-based teaching/learning activities. Holmes’ primary means of delivering eLearning classes are through the use of the Mississippi Virtual Community College in both provided and
