95 years: Bogalusa college fueled by diesel, nurses, technology

BOGALUSA, La. (WGNO) — If there’s a strange sound coming from an engine near you, Ross McHughes wants to listen.

That’s why he’s in class of Louisiana students at Northshore Technical Community College, the Sullivan campus.

“I like fixing problems and I’m always hands on,” said McHughes.

WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood is also there in Diesel Engine Technology.

It’s a campus where you see lots of smiles.

Dean Dewayne Lambert knows why.

“I think it’s a chance for a better life and you can see it here every day,” he says.

Every day in the lab with future nurses and around the corner from them where they practice climbing six-story power poles. It’s where they learn to become linemen for the parish in Electric Line Tech.

Since 1930, that’s 95 years, at the first school of its kind in Louisiana, students have been listening and now what they hear is the sound of success.

Especially in Information Systems Technology where students learn to repair computers.

“Someone calls and say ‘hey I need you to come fix my computer’ and I would say okay I’m on my way,” said Delisha McGowan.
