The citizens of Graham decided to pursue legislative action to release Graham ISD from the Ranger Community College service area. Texas House Bill 1274, enacted in June 2005, opened the geographic boundaries of the Graham ISD for service from any community college. This was the first step towards realizing the desire of citizens that correlated with the vision of 1970s. An invitation for delivery of instruction from the NCTC-Bowie Campus ensued in the summer of 2007, which provided the foundation of the partnership of the Graham ISD and North Central Texas College.

The vision of the community's leaders brought a branch campus maintenance tax proposal to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for a Fall 2009 election. The citizens overwhelmingly responded with an almost 75% approval vote. This tax will provide sustainability for higher education opportunities for the community, while allowing the college to provide excellent instruction, services and technology to this rural, regional center.

The facility has over 49,800 square feet of instructional and administrative space, including a large lecture hall, performance stage, distance education classrooms, state-of-the-art culinary arts center, a newly renovated student center, gym, general classrooms, and computer labs. The campus is built on several acres of land, and is next door to a state-of-the-art facility, The City of Graham Library. The NCTC Library has an excellent partnership with the library, including the signing of a memorandum of understanding, which provides access and resources for NCTC students.

The Graham Economic Improvement Corporation and the Graham Industrial board provided the funding of over $1 million for the renovation of an historic library on the campus for the purpose of a nursing program. In August 2009, NCTC began its first LVN program on the Graham Campus in this beautifully restored building. The facility renovation project was designed with historic preservation in mind, as well as offering the latest in technology and training opportunities, and an all-purpose science lab..

The future is bright for the new partnership of North Central Texas College and Graham. The long-awaited dreams of this vibrant and progressive community have become a reality.
