In 2025 the men’s basketball team won the YCC Conference Championship.

If I could identify one thing that made a difference, it would be Great Bay. I talk all the time about how much Great Bay changed my life and gave me a huge foundation. I am incredibly grateful for my time there.

What a great day on the course!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 13th Annual Great Bay Community College Golf “Fore” Education Event at Pease Golf Course. From our golfers and sponsors to volunteers and supporters, your generosity and enthusiasm helped make this year’s event a tremendous success.

The tournament is about more than golf. It brings together alumni, community partners, local businesses, faculty, staff, and friends of the College to support student leadership programs and intercollegiate athletics while strengthening the connections that make Great Bay such a special community.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make the day memorable and for your continued support of Great Bay students.

Congratulations to Portsmouth High School’s Jaclyn Chisholm, Assistant Principal of Curriculum and Instruction, who was recognized by Governor Kelly Ayotte and the Community College System of NH as Great Bay Community College’s Early College Advocate.

Jaclyn was honored for her advocacy, innovation, and commitment to expanding Early College opportunities for Portsmouth students. Through partnerships like these, more students can earn college credits while still in high school, saving money and gaining confidence as they prepare for their futures.
