Neighbors worked for nine years at North Central Texas College in Gainesville, most recently as the Registrar and Director of Admissions. Her experience in education is diverse she has taught at the high school and college level, and has worked in both community college and university settings. I enjoy students and the classroom, and I ve also worked on the administrative side, she said. This is exciting because it s like being on the ground floor. With the growth and the need for higher education in this area, I think Weatherford College is going to do big things for Decatur and Wise County.
Neighbors knows what it s like to start on the ground floor.
From 1987 to 1992 she started and operated Neighborhood Kids Playschool, a childcare facility in Valley View. The WC Decatur Education Center is undergoing renovations, but Neighbors says she hopes to be in her new office sometime in November. WC will begin classes at the center in January. We ll start with some basics and computer courses. I ve devised a survey to see what courses are needed here, so between that and information from the Chamber, we ll find out what specific courses this community needs.
