TRENTON, MO – North Central Missouri College held a flag-raising ceremony on Friday to welcome international students from the Kingdom of Tonga, their families, and the community. NCMC has developed a partnership with Tongan officials and will soon be enrolling international students from the Kingdom.
The Tongan flag is located on the second floor of the library, along with other flags representing the countries of each international student that is, or has attended NCMC.
The Kingdom of Tonga is comprised of several islands in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Several Tongan leaders have purchased properties in Trenton and the surrounding areas to help the transition of students to NCMC.
