WINTERVILLE�By the time the final numbers are in, Pitt Community College�s Spring 2009 enrollment will likely be the school�s highest ever. As of Thursday morning, PCC Registrar Joanne Ceres reported the college had 7,063 students enrolled. With about 40 additional Huskins students to be added to that figure, Ceres said PCC�s spring enrollment would be approximately 7,100 students, about 12 more than the previous record of 7,088 set in Fall 2008.

When compared to 2005, enrollment this spring is up 20 percent. A total of 5,684 students signed up for courses in Spring 2005, and that number has grown each year since.
