Ogeechee Technical College

State Senator Joe Kennedy was instrumental in the creation of Ogeechee Technical Institute, a post-secondary school that he hoped would educate and give job training to people in Bulloch County and the surrounding area.

Ogeechee Technical Institute was created in 1987 by approval of the Georgia General Assembly.

That same year, Practical Nursing, with a student body of twenty-five became the first credited program to be offered by the institute.

A new facility was completed in 1990, thereby allowing the school to begin offering more classes by the spring of 1991.

It has been under state program standards developed by The Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education since the first day of operation.
