President’s Welcome

Welcome to James Sprunt Community College. We are glad you are here, and we feel you have made an informed decision to join our family. From this point forward, you will be a part of the Spartan Nation. Our commitment to you is to make every effort to help you be successful while you are here. The educational programs at JSCC lead to long-term careers, and we are confident your success will positively impact our county, state, and nation.

JSCC has a rich history dating back to 1784 when Grove Academy was established in Duplin County. The College is named for Dr. James Menzies Sprunt, who became President of Grove Academy in 1845. From then until now, we have always sought to serve students respectfully, compassionately, and professionally. After all, we are family. As you walk around campus and visit our classrooms and common areas, you will notice the attention to detail we have made in providing an atmosphere that is collegiate and conducive to learning. Our commitment to you is a 21st Century campus and College.

I look forward to seeing you around campus and congratulating you as you cross the stage to receive your certificate, diploma, or degree. Our staff and faculty are dedicated to seeing you complete your educational goals so we can celebrate graduation with you.

Again, welcome to James Sprunt Community College and please let me know if I can be of service to you. My door is always open.

Sincerely,

Jay Carraway, Ed. D. President
