About school

Jones College Clarke County Learning Center, nestled at 1200 Erwin Road in Stonewall, Mississippi, is an integral part of the Jones College network. This branch campus provides a vital blend of vocational and academic courses tailored for the surrounding community's needs. The center plays a crucial role in local education, especially valuable since the closure of the Burlington Industries cotton mill in 2002, which significantly impacted the area's job market. It addresses these economic challenges by offering a variety of programs, including computer training, welding, and medical healthcare, with facilities like labs dedicated to petroleum and welding.

The Learning Center emphasizes dual enrollment opportunities, enabling high school students from Enterprise and Quitman School Districts to earn college credits, setting the foundation for their future academic endeavors. Moreover, its training courses cover critical fields like heavy equipment operation and transportation, supporting regional industrial demands. The center partners with Falck Safety Services to deliver specialized training in well control through its Entry Level Petroleum Trainee (ELPT) Program. This blend of academic and workforce development initiatives not only enhances educational access but also fosters economic growth by equipping students with essential skills for career advancement and achieving economic independence.
