Meet the College President

Dr. Edmund 'Butch' Herod Welcome to the newly revised HCC Central website. I hope you find it useful as you explore your path to success at HCC.

Central College is a special place to learn and grow educationally, professionally and personally. It has a long history of producing successful students, and it is ready to give all students the best chance to thrive in a college environment.

In fact, we can accommodate you from wherever you are in life:

• A teenager fresh out of high school just exploring college
• A young adult looking for a path to a high-paying job
• A local or international student seeking to transfer to a four-year university
• A middle-aged adult wanting to finish what they started
• A veteran and experienced professional aiming for a new or secondary career
• A seasoned senior unafraid of learning new skills or exploring new interests

Central’s two campuses – in Midtown/Third Ward and at the South Campus – have classes and programs for everyone.

This website is designed to introduce you to the college, and to share a multitude of events and activities Central has to offer students. Check back here often to see the upcoming events we have… and for a bit of inspiration. We’ll feature Student Stories of Success to help show you what is possible.

In the meantime, engage with us on Central’s social media sites: FB, Instagram and LinkedIn.

I look forward to seeing you around campus.

Warmly,

Dr. Edmund "Butch" Herod

President
