Cowley College began celebrating its 100th year in operation Wednesday night during a Proclamation Celebration in the Robert Brown Theatre. Cowley College began its life as Arkansas City Junior College in 1922. Classes were first held on the top floor of the high school. The college would not have its own dedicated classroom building until 1952. The school’s name was changed to Cowley County Community College and Vocational-Technical School in 1965 before finally being called Cowley College.
