September 9 is the  kick-off event for the Fort Scott Community College  Centennial Celebration, and the public is invited.

At 11 a.m. there will be an assembly at the Ellis Arts Center on the campus.

“We will have an assembly reflecting on the schools history, lunch, tree dedication, aerial picture, all free and open to the community,” Kassie Cate, Director of Strategic Communications & Student Activities, said.

“The school’s first day of classes was September 8th in 1919 so since the 8th is on a Sunday, so we are doing it on September 9th.”
