Letter from the President and Board of Trustees Chair As we reflect on the 2025–2026 academic year, we are proud to share a story of progress, resilience, and transformation; one written by our faculty, staff, students, trustees, county commissioners, local legislators, and community partners. Working together, they strengthened the College and expanded opportunity across every community we serve. While higher education continues to face real challenges, Pennsylvania Highlands remains committed to affordable, accessible, and high-quality education that changes lives and supports the economic vitality of our region. At the heart of that story are our students. This year, they earned 243 college credentials, including associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates that open doors to transfer, employment, and career advancement. Their achievements reflect both their determination and the dedication of the faculty and staff who support them. That same commitment to quality was affirmed through the successful completion of our Middle States Commission on Higher Education reaccreditation review, validating the strength of our academic programs, operations, and student support services while reaffirming our promise of continuous improvement. With a strong foundation in place, we turned our attention to the future. This year marked the creation of our 2026–2029 Strategic Plan, From Classroom to Career: Pathways to Success, which is a clear roadmap developed with employees, students, trustees, and community stakeholders to guide how we invest and adapt as workforce needs, technologies, and student expectations evolve.

As we look ahead, Pennsylvania Highlands remains focused on student success, workforce development, innovation, and community impact. Guided by our new strategic plan and supported by dedicated employees, trustees, partners, and donors, we are confident in our ability to meet the changing needs of our students and region. Thank you for your continued support. Together, we are creating opportunities, transforming lives, and building stronger communities throughout Cambria, Blair, Bedford, Centre, Huntingdon, and Somerset counties and beyond. Sincerely,

Dr. Steve Nunez President

Dr. Janet Grady Board of Trustees Chairperson

Those values came to life through several new initiatives. We launched the Cambria County Smart Start Promise Program, raising more than $300,000 in its first year to cover tuition and comprehensive fees for eligible Cambria County high school graduates after applicable grants and aid. We introduced the Black Bear Academy, funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Dual Enrollment Innovation Grant, allowing high school seniors to earn up to 30 college credits while remaining active in their high school experience. And through a $250,000 grant secured with Somerset County leaders and community partners, we launched the Somerset County Tuition Reduction Program, lowering tuition for all Somerset County residents. Our growth extended into workforce development as 11

COLLEGE LAUNCHES SMART START, OFFERING A TUITION-FREE FIRST YEAR FOR CAMBRIA COUNTY STUDENTS Once accepted, Smart Start participants receive academic and financial aid advising to better prepare for classes.

Pennsylvania Highlands Community College has announced the launch of the Smart Start Promise Program (Smart Start), a transformative pilot initiative that enables recent Cambria County high school graduates to begin their college education with minimal to no personal expenses.

Smart Start is the result of strong collaboration between community partners and public leaders committed to expanding educational access and opportunity. The program is supported in part by a philanthropic investment from the 1889 Foundation, by the leadership of Representative Jim Rigby, who helped secure funding for Smart Start, and by Senator Wayne Langerholc, whose longstanding support and advocacy continue to benefit the College and its students.

This program covers all tuition and comprehensive fees for up to 30 college credits during a student’s first year, ensuring that higher education remains accessible and affordable for local communities. Students may apply their funding toward any approved degree or certificate program, with the flexibility to take classes in-person or online. Comprehensive fees are mandatory charges that colleges require from all students. These fees cover a wide range of non-academic services, student activities, and campus infrastructure. Smart Start now covers these costs for participants. Students are still responsible for purchasing their own textbooks, classroom supplies, and any applicable course fees. The total cost for these items will vary depending on the student’s class load. Smart Start acts as a last-dollar scholarship, reducing the need for students to take out loans for their initial year of study. By removing financial barriers, Penn Highlands aims to reduce student debt, improve local labor force participation, and encourage young talent to remain in the region. To qualify, applicants must be recent high school graduates who meet Cambria County residency requirements and enroll in at least six credits during the immediate fall or spring semester after their high school graduation. Other requirements include completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), applying for state grants, and seeking at least one external scholarship. 3

College Embraces Artificial Intelligence To Drive Innovation & Student Success Pennsylvania Highlands Community College began its usage of artificial intelligence (AI) across key software systems and daily operations and has continued advancing its commitment to innovation and student success ever since. The AI rollout streamlines administrative processes, enables personalized learning, and strengthens faculty and student support, positioning the College for the next phase of modern, learner-centered education.

Class No. 92 then started with 18 cadets, the highest starting attendance in Penn Highlands Police Academy history and the highest number of cadets in the Academy in over 10 years, dating back to when the Greater Johnstown Career and Technology Center maintained it.
