Company History

In the fall of 1961, Northern Essex opened its doors to 186 students in the then-former Greenleaf Elementary School on Chadwick Street in Bradford, Massachusetts. Most were recent graduates of Haverhill High School as well as other high schools in surrounding towns. The college was popular from the start and in 1971 the Haverhill campus was built in the bucolic setting off Route 110.

The Lawrence campus was expanded with The Dimitry Building in 1991, followed by the Louise Haffner Fournier Education Center in 2005, and NECC Riverwalk in 2010.

In 2014, the Lawrence campus added its newest building, the El-Hefni Allied Health and Technology Building.

Northern Essex Community College currently offers 67 associate degrees and certificates
