to start a community college in the county.
Charter President Dr. William L. Apetz began his tenure in September of 1966. The first classes were taught in the summer of 1967 at Monagahela Middle School and Deptford Township High School

A recent event, unexpected by nearly all, was the resignation of President Dr. Russell A. Davis on April 13, 2011; he had been the President of GCC since September of 2008. On April 29, 2011, he was charged with 11 counts of forgery involving forging signatures in order to obtain loans from his pension/retirement account (similarly to the loans allowed from a 401(k)); no allegations of theft of college property have been made by the prosecutor's office. His replacement, serving as Interim President, is Mr. Frederick Keating; Mr. Keating formerly was GCC's vice president of student services and, before that, GCIT's superintendent
