90 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
TJC is one of the largest community colleges in Texas, with 306 full-time faculty members and 248 part-time faculty members, approximately 11,000 students enrolled per semester, and 1,011 May graduates. For 90 years, TJC has embodied the true sense of the term “community college,” as reflected in its foundational promises to provide students with a quality education, a vibrant student life and opportunities for service to the community.
The community’s generosity led to the founding of the college in 1926. Thanks to the wonderful, ongoing support from the community, alumni, parents, students, and friends of this great institution, TJC has flourished for 90 years. As it looks to the future, TJC will continue to expand opportunities for student success and reinforce its role as The College of East Texas.
