Western Piedmont Community College — Local services in Morganton

We are opening a third Video Production office in Lenoir, and while we're waiting for the land to be cleared, we thought it'd be fun to take Terry Adams Excavator's class. Not only would it be a good skill to have for new land owners, but a good experience.

Coming from Charlotte, NC and previously attending classes at CPCC, I was skeptical of the facilities here. Not only was I wrong; I was extremely wrong.

I truly believe community college is the way to start your post-secondary journey, and our hometown college is...

WPCC twice entered a grade of "F" by mistake. I am stuck with one of them because I got the grade from the professor, didn't think I needed to check behind them, and years passed before I discovered it. My daughter went two years to community college before going on to a 4-year and I would not allow her to step foot on WPCC's campus. I will never give another dime to a school that would do that...
