“We are excited to see the continued growth in our enrollment,” SPC President Robin Satterwhite said. “Our dual credit students are equally important to our overall student body, and our mission of helping every student succeed is relevant regardless of a student’s place in their academic journey. I am proud of the work that our faculty and staff have done to ensure SPC provides the highest quality of education.”
