The Colorado Springs New Homes Real Estate area is going to be home to another local college campus. According to The Gazette, “Pikes Peak Community College plans to open a full-service campus in Falcon as early as this August” in what was once Falcon Middle School at Highway 24. Falcon School District 49 will “lease part of the middle school to PPCC” for around $125,000 a year for five years, creating the fourth PPCC campus in the area.
This is particularly good for this part of town because, first of all, education opportunities increase for the area, and also because Eastern El Paso County “has the lowest completion rate for post secondary education in the region,” according to PPCC. Furthermore:
- “40 to 50 percent of residents have no degree or certificate beyond high school” immediately around where the campus will be
- about 600 students will be able to attend the campus, at which 180 courses are initially planned
- District 49 students will be able to take college-level courses and receive credit toward both high school and college graduation
What’s more, PPCC as a whole is expected to receive “as many as 700 new students from troop relocation to Fort Carson over the next few years,” so the new campus will help relieve congestion among the other campuses in the Colorado Springs New Homes area. So it looks like we have a win-win-win situation: more people will receive a college education, high school students will have the chance to experience college while still in high school, and, once again, the Fort Carson situation will prove to play a role in another aspect of our economy. This small campus means big things for Falcon.
