About two-thirds of our students live in the Alpena area, while the remaining one-third or so come from neighboring Alcona, Iosco, Montmorency and Presque Isle counties. In addition, the national reputation of some of our programs attract students from elsewhere in Michigan and throughout the United States.
Company History
Founded in 1952, Alpena Community College offered classes at Alpena High School (then on Second Avenue) until the current campus was established in 1957. We were part of the Alpena K-14 public school system until 1979, when district voters decided the college should be independent and governed by its own Board of Trustees.
Several additions and expansions over the years - including the establishment of the Huron Shores Campus in 1969 - helped us accommodate the growing demand for educational programs, while extending our services throughout the entire Northeast Michigan region.
