"At Central Piedmont Community College, student success is at the heart of everything we do.
We are proud to help shape futures and stand strong as a beacon of knowledge, skill, and opportunity for our community since 1963."

"60 Years Strong - How Deep Our Roots Go," an exhibition by the Central Piedmont Archives, celebrates Central Piedmont's rich history and the success of our institution over six decades. Our college seal inspires the crafted tree and represents our growth into a "mighty tree" of an institution in Mecklenburg County. When viewing the display, you will learn about various examples of the educational opportunities championed by our current and past presidents displayed along the bottom of the case, symbolized as the roots. Evidence of these opportunities’ positive impact on student success is shown above, represented by the branches and leaves that have grown from the roots.
This exhibition is dedicated to our students of present, past, and future who make an impact in historic ways. Thank you to the staff of the Central Piedmont Library and CMPR for their research and support of this display. Thank you to librarians Gale Mitchell and Hannah Thompson for their support and creativity in crafting the visual elements using resources from our Library Makerspace.
We hope you enjoy this exhibition, find inspiration in our history, and continue to nurture the seeds for educational growth and success.
