From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Hood Community College is a community college located at 26000 SE Stark St in Gresham, Oregon. Opened in 1966, it now enrolls about 27,000 students each year. Classes are offered at the 212 acre (858,000 m²) main campus in Gresham, the MHCC Maywood Park Center, Thompson Center and evening education centers at district public schools.
