Grayson College is a community college located in Grayson County, Texas. The main campus is located in Denison, with branch campuses in Denison (west extension, at the site of the old Perrin Air Force Base) as well as in Van Alstyne (south campus).

In February 2007, Grayson's board of trustees called for a $44,790,000 bond election to expand and improve the existing campus, which was held in May and the referendum passed. This was Grayson's first bond election since the one called to create the campus in the 1960s. Among other things, $25.7 million was devoted to a new career and technical center on the east campus, moving these facilities from their current west campus location.

The main campus is located in Denison, with a branch campus in Van Alstyne. The main campus (consisting of the east campus and the west extension) is in a rural setting near North Texas Regional Airport. The east campus is all new construction and houses the administration; the west extension is composed mainly of buildings left over by the former Perrin Air Force Base, including an 18-hole golf course which the college now operates and vineyards which carry on the work of famed horticulturalist and Denison resident Thomas Volney Munson.

The college president is J.P. McMillen.

As defined by the Texas Legislature, the official service area of Grayson includes all of Grayson County and territory within the following school districts in Fannin County:Bonham Independent School District, Dodd City Independent School District, Ector Independent School District, Leonard Independent School District, Sam Rayburn Independent School District, Savoy Independent School District, Trenton Independent School District, Whitewright Independent School District and Wolfe City Independent School District.
