National Park College (NPC), formerly National Park Community College (NPCC), is located in Mid-America Park just west of Hot Springs (Garland County). It offers associate degrees, technical certificates, continuing education, community services, workforce training, and adult basic education. NPC is the fourth-largest community college in Arkansas. National Park College resulted from Act 678 of the 2003 Arkansas General Assembly, which merged Garland County Community College (GCCC) and Quapaw Technical Institute (QTI). The act went into effect on July 1, 2003. GCCC had been established as a two-year college in 1973 to provide post-secondary higher education opportunities to the citizens of Garland County and the surrounding areas. QTI was first established as Quapaw Vocational Technical School, a branch campus of the Ouachita Vocational Technical School (now College of the Ouachitas) at Malvern (Hot Spring County). The facility at the Hot Springs branch opened in 1969, and Act 310 of 1973 stipulated that the Hot Springs branch be a separate independent entity named Quapaw Vocational Technical School. As a result of Act 1244 and Act 773 of 1991, the State Board of Vocational Education changed the name to Quapaw Technical Institute on July 8, 1991. The merger of the two schools into NPC combined two adjacent campuses, two governing boards, and the academic and technical courses offered into one comprehensive institution that helped provide a more efficient means of meeting the community’s and the region’s educational needs. NPC is accredited by the Higher Learning Commissions of the North Central Association of Colleges and by the Council on Occupational Education. It is approved by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing, the Arkansas Department of Health, the National Automotive Technicians, Associated General Contractors of America, and the American Health Information Management Association. NPC is a member of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, the Council of North Central Community and Junior Colleges, the National Institute of Staff and Organizational Development, and the Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges. To accommodate student enrollment in the health sciences and nursing programs and to help keep pace with future demands in the medical industry, the 35,000-square-foot Lab Sciences Building was completed in the fall of 2006. It houses state-of-the-art science labs and equipment utilizing the latest technology. Ninety percent of the nurses and healthcare workers employed in the area have received training from NPC. The nursing program at NPC began in 1974, and the first class graduated in spring of 1976. Approximately forty percent of NPC students declare nursing and health science majors. NPC’s capital campaign began in October 2005 with a working goal of $3 million for building and scholarships. In November 2006, Fred Dierks pledged the largest amount ever given by a single donor to a two-year school in Arkansas. This $1.5 million gift helped in the construction of the Frederick M. Dierks Center for Nursing and Health Sciences, which celebrated its groundbreaking on April 2, 2008. In 2013, NPC began working with Henderson State University (HSU) to offer business and education classes in Hot Springs. That same year, NPC added a two-year pre-engineering program. NPC is home to the National Park Technology Center, which offers seven career and technical programs for high school juniors and seniors. Dr. John Hogan became the new NPC president on July 1, 2014. In March 2015, HSU and NPC formally opened the Hot Springs Downtown Education Center. In April 2015, the college formally changed its name to For additional information: I have just added archive links to one external link on National Park College.

We are a private foundation that succeeded the Highland Park Revitalization Committee formed by the City of Des Moines. It represents the Highland Park , Oak Park , and Union Park neighborhoods Our goals are continued revitalization and educating our residents and other citizens of Des Moines on the history of our neighborhoods and the ongoing benefits of living and working in the Parks area. mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_170,h_107,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2/Bridge.jpg" /> mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_160,h_107,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2/HPC2.jpg" /> From the beginning, our focus has been on community improvement projects with a strong emphasis on education about our rich history. A historian has called the Highland and Oak Park areas one of the best examples of a &ldquostreetcar suburb&rdquo in the Midwest. The historic Highland Park and Oak Park Neighborhoods were once established as independent cities within Polk County. The "streetcar cities" were annexed by the City of Des Moines in the early 1900's. They were once home to an independent newspaper, Highland Park College, a fire station and other city services. mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_162,h_102,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2/street%20car.jpg" /> mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_159,h_96,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2/HPC3.jpg" /> Over the years, PAF has received various grants for projects. Grantors include: City of Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa Arts Council, Thrivent for Neighborhoods, Metro Waste Authority, Oak Park Neighbors, Highland Park Community Action Association and the Highland Park Business Club. PAF has distributed funds to the following groups: Friends of the North Side Library, North High School Dollars for Scholars, North High Athletic Dept, North High Swim Team, North High Cheerleaders, Polar Bear Open Golf Tournament, Central Iowa Blues Society, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Des Moines Public Library, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Iowa Non-Profit Assn., Restoration Ingersoll, Oak Park Easter Egg Hunt, KRNI Kids Fun Day and others. mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_163,h_109,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2/HPC%20labeled.jpg" /> mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_163,h_109,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2/frenchway.jpg" /> Our only large economic development project has been the purchase and historic renovation of a mixed-use building in the 6th and Euclid National Historic District. This project brought five low-to-moderate income apartments back into service for local residents. The building was renovated to National Park Service Standards and was funded by State and Federal Historic Tax Credits, a PAF mortgage and a 5-year forgivable loan from the City of Des Moines. Professional internships are strongly encouraged for students in the MHP program. Dozens of opportunities are available through the United States and abroad. Internships may be eligible for credit hours, and often include a stipend or other form of compensation. Read below for a sample of how our students have gained valuable experience interning with preservation organizations. Anders Yount, left, and Mills Dorn, right, in the field for Find!It FindIt! Program Mills Dorn ('19), Carter Finch ('19), Savannah Young ('19), and Anders Yount ('18) worked with the FindIt! Program to complete cultural resource surveys in Dooly County. This included conducting field surveys to identify and document historic properties, as well as entering this data into Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources GIS. FindIt! is housed in the Center for Community Design and Preservation at the College of Environment and Design here at the University of Georgia. Read UGAToday's feature on the program and learn more at http://findit.uga.edu/ . Five historic boathouses dubbed the "Painted Sisters" at Thousand Island Park. Thousand Island Park For the past two years, Caitlin Plesher ('19) has spent her summers interning with the Thousand Island Park Landmark Society and Thousand Island Park Corporation in beautiful upstate New York. The park was a Methodist campground established in 1875 that still continues to attract visitors from throughout the United States. As part of her internship, Caitlin put together exhibits on TIP’s history, surveyed historic cottages and boat houses, and compiled archival research and maps that will assist in the addition of the boathouses to TIP’s National Register listing. She said, “The Thousand Islands area is absolutely gorgeous with a rich history that has been beautifully preserved. I can’t wait to go back soon!” Sherrie Raleigh (left) with members of the Hartwell citizen committee The Archway Partnership is a UGA program that pairs students with communities to address their needs. As part of second-year student Sherrie Raleigh's ('19) assistantship with Archway, she is collaborating with citizens of Hartwell, Georgia to consolidate historic walking tours and research downtown buildings. Other projects MHP students have completed for Archway in the past include making recommendations for adaptive reuse, writing National Register nominations, and developing interpretative markers. Lauren Patterson at the Portland Head Light, Maine's oldest lighthouse Greater Portland Landmarks Lauren Patterson ('19) joined Greater Portland Landmarks in Maine to perform architectural surveys of neighborhoods vulnerable to development. With a team of three other graduate students from around the country, she surveyed six neighborhoods, researched their historic contexts, and helped develop the case for how the areas tell the story of Portland and deserve diligence to ensure their character is retained. Check out the Landmarks' blog for more on her adventures in New England. Maxwell Nosbisch in front of Sagamore's main lodge Great Camp Sagamore For the past two years, Maxwell Nosbisch ('20) has spent his summers and falls interning with Great Camp Sagamore National Historic Landmark in Raquette Lake, New York- an Adirondack Great Camp.The site was the summer home of the Vanderbilt family and is the progenitor of "Rustic" architecture in the United States. The internships focused on interpretation and the preservation of the original structures. Maxwell took part in a rehabilitation of the original servants' quarters which now serves as the site's gift shop, intern lodging, and lounge. Maxwell also created a new tour of the site that focused on the female history including Margaret Vanderbilt. Maxwell said, "Great Camp Sagamore is always looking for interns that are ready to get their hands-dirty and learn hands-on preservation techniques. Anybody interested in the MHP at UGA will find Great Camp Sagamore a beneficial internship to their possible career goals." The Governor's Mansion was built in 1839, when Milledgeville was the capital of Georgia. The Governor's Mansion Darcie Scales ('20) has always loved history. That’s why she jumped at the opportunity to take an internship with the Old Governor’s Mansion in Milledgeville, Georgia. She quickly found herself doing such things as transcribing the private journals of people like former Governor Joseph E. Brown and his wife. The chance to work with original documents thrilled Darcie as she is interested in a career in archival research. Her time at the Old Governor’s Mansion taught her what it takes to read and interpret historical manuscripts, which in turn helped the site further the interpretation it gives to the public. Elyse Hoganson dove into her hometown's history by interning with the local historical society. Etowah Valley Historical Society Being from Cartersville, Georgia, Elyse Hoganson ('20) has always felt a connection to the history of her hometown. That is why she decided to spend the summer interning with the Etowah Valley Historical Society. Hoganson wrote articles for the Society's website regarding her research on historic schools in Bartow County, Georgia. The research was intensive, involving a variety of materials such as historic newspapers, microfilm, interviews, and site visits. Through her work, Hoganson identified three different types of historic schools in Bartow County. The depth of research surprised Hoganson, who feels the lessons learned helped her become a more professional preservationist. Knox Heritage As a Knoxville, Tennesee native, Rose Mayo ('20) has seen the impact of a growing effort toward historic preservation throughout her hometown. When the opportunity arose to intern with Knox Heritage, she was eager to contribute her efforts to the fantastic work the organization does in the community. Rose assisted on a number of projects under the direction of the Director of Education and Technical Services, most notably researching and writing portions of a National Register nomination for the first multi-level parking garage in the downtown area. This internship provided Rose invaluable insight into the work of preservation professionals and helped her ultimately decided to pursue an MHP at UGA. Other organizations with which MHP students have recently interned include: Athens-Clarke County Planning Department (Athens, GA) Great Camp Santanoni (Adirondacks, NY) Historic Savannah Foundation (Savannah, GA) Historic Rural Churches of Georgia the Northeast Georgia Regional Planning Commission (Athens, GA) the Cannonball House (Macon, GA) WLA Studio (Athens, GA) and Historic Macon Foundation (Macon, GA), among others. Master of Historic Preservation students represent a variety of academic and cultural backgrounds and interests. This is reflected in the breadth of projects taken on as independent thesis research. The below list includes completed topics through the Spring 2018 semester. While travel is not required, many MHP students choose to do their thesis research on locations with which they have a strong connection. This has taken them to places such as duck camps in Louisiana (left) Nassau, Bahamas (middle) and Minneapolis, Minnesota (right). According to the National Parks Service, “a historic structure report provides documentary, graphic, and physical information about a property’s history and existing condition.” By partnering with local historic sites, students in the MHP program get hands-on experience completing HSRs and learning how this vital resource plays into preservation planning. Below are examples of HSRs that students have completed on a variety of different building types for the Building Materials Conservation class. Like other northeastern American cities, Boston began to draw Jewish immigrants in significant numbers beginning in the 1870s and accelerating in the decades before and after the turn of the twentieth century. As Jews migrated internally within the city, from crowded areas of the North and West Ends, through the South End, Roxbury, and on to the “streetcar suburbs” of Dorchester and Mattapan, then out toward the suburban enclaves of neighboring cities like Brookline, Newton, and Sharon, they frequently traded buildings and land with the African American community. First Jews from Central Europe settled in what was then the South End (around today’s theater district), and moved into newer parts of the South End being built by the city as Back Bay was filled in. Then within two decades, as East European Jews moved from the North End to the West End and north slope of Beacon Hill, of the city’s oldest black churches founded in that neighborhood purchased grand synagogue buildings in the South End as African Americans moved into the neighborhood and Jews and Jewish congregations moved south into Roxbury and west into Brookline. Both Jewish and African American communities continued to move south in the first half of the twentieth century into Roxbury and Dorchester, especially along Blue Hill Avenue. In the post-World War II years the Jewish communities established in those neighborhoods increasingly moved further west and south beyond the city’s borders, and in the process sold their religious and cultural buildings to predominantly African American churches. Many of these spaces, particularly those that housed places of worship, served and still serve as anchors of their neighborhoods and communities. The following story map traces Jewish migration within the city of Boston by focusing exclusively on communal and religious sites that exchanged hands between Jewish and African American communities. The map is particularly indebted to the work of the historian and political scientist Gerald Gamm, as well as the data compiled by the genealogist Carol Clingan. Many historical images are from the collections of the Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center at New England Historic Genealogical Society (which houses the previous Boston collections of the American Jewish Historical Society) and the digitized collections in the Northeastern University Library Archives and Special Collections. You can find a full list of resources consulted below and on the last page of the story map. The following story-map was created and built by Harrison Beiser, Kayla Lavelle, and Shira Weiss. The map is viewed best on desktop device. *Fall - August 17 th - December 10 th *Spring - January 11 th - May 4 th Applications are accepted up to one month before academy starts, later submissions require approval.

Dierks of Hot Springs, who had been associated with a business and owned timberland and produced pulp and paper, and that was sold to Weyerhaeuser in 1969. Β] Γ] This was the largest cash donation in the history of Arkansas community colleges. Β] These funds were purposed for a new nursing and health sciences facility. By December 2007, the college had raised an additional $900,000 for the campaign and initiated a joint program in early-childhood and middle-school teaching with Henderson State University. Δ] After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, NPC assisted students displaced from their home colleges by either enrolling in its college programs or finding colleges for them to enroll in. Ε] In 1994, when it was known as Garland County Community College, the college was censured by the American Association of University Professors for failure to abide by the 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure and 1958 Statement on Procedural Standards in Faculty Dismissal Proceedings. Ζ] As of September [update] the censure remains in place. Η] In 2013, National Park College celebrated two milestone anniversaries: the 40th anniversary of the founding of Garland County Community College (GCCC) and the 10th anniversary of the merger of GCCC with Quapaw Technical Institute that created National Park College. ⎖]

National Park Community College - History
A Brief History
We have two National Historic Districts for which PAF is the major booster group. In 2000 we purchased the road signage to identify the areas. PAF has sponsored the painting of two large murals depicting local history in addition to publishing a local history book and a DVD showing the area as it appeared in the 1930s.
PAF has also been the sole sponsor of the Highland Sweet Corn Day, a Farmers&rsquo Market, Parks Area Car Show, Parks Area 5-K Fun Run, an 8- week Summer Concert Series and a Historic Trolley Tour.
PAF also sponsors a scholarship to the Des Moines Area Community College for Des Moines North High School graduates.
PAF is the partner with the City of Des Moines in the Highland Park Self Supporting Municipal Improvement District (SSMID.) This is a taxing district to fund and support streetscape improvements in the district including historic lighting, historic arch over the street, historic signage, trees, planters and public benches.
