Pierce College, formerly known as the Clarence W. Pierce School of Agriculture, was originally thought up by its namesake for the purpose of providing students with a specialized school for vocational agriculture.
Over the years, the college, which opened in September 1947, has transformed incorporate general education needs of students ranging from high school graduates to professionals looking to brush up on basic skills.
Through all the changes the school has gone through, what remains constant is Clarence, the school’s Brahma bull mascot.
