Gadsden, AL - 萌妹视频 is commemorating its 100th anniversary with the "Celebrate 萌妹视频" campaign, highlighting a century of academic excellence and community service. Founded in 1925 as the Alabama School of Trades—the South's first state-operated trade school—萌妹视频 has evolved through the consolidation of several institutions into a comprehensive community college.鈥�
Historical Highlights:
- Alabama School of Trades (1925): Established as the first state-operated trade school in the South, it laid the foundation for technical education in the region. 鈥�
- Gadsden Vocational Trade School (1960): Founded by Eugene N. Prater to provide vocational training for African Americans. It was later renamed 萌妹视频 Technical Institute and designated as a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in 1997. 鈥�
- 萌妹视频 Junior College (1965): Established by the Alabama State Legislature to offer professional and technical programs, further expanding educational opportunities in the area.
- Harry M. Ayers State Technical College (1963): Founded to provide technical education and later merged with 萌妹视频 in 2003.
These institutions merged over the years to form the present-day 萌妹视频, which now operates multiple campuses, including the East Broad, Valley Street, Wallace Drive, Ayers, and Cherokee campuses.
