The history of Clinton Community College covers 75 years. In March of 1946, a public referendum was presented to the citizens of Clinton. The answer was a resounding “yes” and on September 9, 1946, Clinton Junior College officially opened its doors. Clinton Community College is planning to celebrate the 75th Anniversary in fall of 2021.
Founded in 1966, the Paul B. Sharar Foundation is named in honor of the first dean of Clinton Community College. Dean Sharar was a leader with dignity who had a vision of education as the way people learn to live more useful lives for themselves and for their fellow citizens so they feel the joy of accomplishment above and beyond the common-place that might have been. For 55 years, the Sharar Foundation has continued with that vision by providing monetary and advisory assistance to students, staff & faculty and college programs.
