The Georgia Highlands College Cartersville campus is located on Highway 20 just off Interstate 75. The current 100,000 square-foot building is the first of several planned for the site. Projections indicate the Atlanta region, including Bartow County, will grow by up to 1,127,000 people by 2020. Georgia Highlands is working to address the education needs of an increasing population in the region.
The college first began operating in downtown Cartersville in 1988 and broke ground on the new facility in 2003. When the new Cartersville campus opened in 2005, enrollment for the location was approximately 1,200. Now enrollment has reached nearly 2,000 students. The campus includes 21 classrooms with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, four science labs, a library, a bookstore, computer labs and administrative and student-services offices.
The first major-gifts campaign in the college’s history, titled Legacy, was launched in 2005. And extraordinary 100 percent of faculty and staff contributed to the campaign, demonstrating their belief and commitment in the institution. Recently, GHC received an unrestricted bequest of $1 million and named the library at the Cartersville campus the John F. Jr. and Ann Felton Collins Memorial Library. Additionally, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Strickland, also from Cartersville, donated a significant gift, resulting in the naming of a large tiered classroom on the same campus.
