Local leaders recently joined Northwest Mississippi Community College officials for the grand opening of a 42,000 square-foot academic center that will host the DeSoto campus’s new registered nursing program. The Ranger Center represents a historic milestone for DeSoto County as the first home of an RN program in the area. Previously, nursing students would have to travel outside the county for training. With the new facility, NWCC will be able to fully launch its RN program in spring 2026.
