Lakes Region CC Belmont Top Student

“I was very excited when Liz informed me that she would be continuing her education in business at Lakes Region CC,” says Hill, who also coaches basketball and softball at NHTI Concord.  “The Community College System of New Hampshire provides a great opportunity for students to pursue a rigorous business education at an affordable price.  Numbers at Laconia will continue to grow as the cost of college education elsewhere soars.”

“Originally Graphic Design was going to be my major at Lakes Region CC,” says Bennett. “Taking Mr. Hill’s class, combined with my work experience, made me decide that business was the road I wanted to pursue.”

This fall, Lakes Region CC has more than 1000 students, up 14% from one year ago.
