Happy Founders Day, OCC!

On September 3, 1963, Olney Central College opened its doors for the very first time. Today, 63 years later, we’re celebrating more than a date in our history, we’re celebrating the people, memories and opportunities that have shaped OCC through the years.

For more than six decades, OCC has helped students discover their potential, prepare for their future and make their Best Decision Ever.
