Navarro College is a two-year public institution consisting of a main campus located in Corsicana, with branches in Fairfield, Mexia, Midlothian, and Waxahachie, Texas. The college currently features annual student enrollment of more than 9,000 students. In spring 1946, a group of local citizens met to form a steering committee for the purpose of establishing a junior college in Navarro County. In a general election held July 16, 1946, voters approved the creation of Navarro Junior College and authorized a county tax to help finance the institution. In that same election, voters chose a seven-member board of trustees to govern the college.
