175yrs Celebrated

In November, here at Hartlepool College we proudly hosted our 31st Annual Celebration of Achievement awards ceremony, a key date in our calendar that this year marked a significant milestone: 175 years of delivering education to the people of Hartlepool and beyond. The event, aptly titled '175', celebrated the College’s legacy of transforming lives since 1849. Over the decades, tens of thousands of successful students have passed through our doors, and this year's ceremony paid tribute to their achievements. The audience, both in-person and those joining via a #livestream on our dedicated YouTube channel, reflected on the profound impact education has had on the hartlepool, the region and beyond.
