Piedmont Community Actions company history timeline

1967

In 1967, the Anson County Board of Education and the Anson County Commissioners officially appointed a local Board of Trustees.

1977

Further progress, larger enrollment, and additional support from the community, especially from Polkton Mayor W. Cliff Martin, enabled Anson Technical Institute to acquire land, obtain additional funds, and complete construction of a 28,000-square-foot building in Polkton in 1977.

1981

While Anson Community College served the citizens of Anson County, neighboring Union County was not part of the service area of an existing community college. Therefore, in 1981, Union Technical Education Consortium was created when the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges authorized service in the county by a consortium of Anson and Stanly community colleges.

1991

1991 Following its pattern of strengthening the community through needs-based programming, Family Service of High Point expanded with a new division, Consumer Credit Counseling.

1998

In order to expand and improve services to families and children in Guilford County, the Board of Directors of Family Service of High Point and Family & Children’s Service of Greater Greensboro made the commitment to merge in 1998.

1999

On May 19, 1999, Governor Jim Hunt signed a bill, based upon recommendations of an independent study team, to dissolve the charter of Anson Community College and Union Technical Education Center and form North Carolina’s newest community college.

Family Service of the Piedmont resulted from an affiliation of these two agencies in 1999.

2006

Further renovation, expansion, and earthquake retrofitting of the buildings was undertaken in 2006 following the Founding Our Future Capital Campaign.
