About Nunez Community College
Elaine P. Nunez Community College bears the name of the late wife of the Honorable Samuel B. Nunez, Jr., a resident of the Louisiana State Senate from 1982-1988 and from 1990-1996, and was the first public institution of higher learning in Louisiana to be named for a woman. Elaine P. Nunez was a lifelong resident of St. Bernard, where she was educated. She was extremely interested in, and actively supportive of, public education.
Since its origin, Nunez Community College has shown steady progress in its quest to become an institution of higher learning that will have a tremendous impact on the future of Louisiana. By the end of the 1993-94 academic year, the student body had an annual growth rate of approximately seven percent. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, the college served approximately 2,500 students each semester in credit courses.
After the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, Nunez Community College became an oasis in ravaged St. Bernard Parish and a catalyst for business and industry revitalization as it opened the campus for business in January of 2006 and resumed classes on campus on January 25, 2006. By summer 2006, the college had regained nearly 50% of its average summer enrollment. As the college’s service area continues to repopulate, Nunez anticipates returning to pre-Katrina enrollment numbers.
