The Texarkana College Trustees met today for their regular board meeting and heard a report by Dr. Dixon Boyles, Vice President of Instruction, about TC’s spring commencement ceremony held on Thursday, May 9, 2024. Dr. Boyles said TC serves the community in a unique way that provides generational change for families.
“We awarded 250 degrees or certificates this spring, over half of which were awarded to graduates who are first generation students, meaning they are the very first person in their family to graduate from college,” said Dr. Boyles. “Additionally, we had over twenty high school students who completed their associate degrees with TC this spring through dual credit classes. In fact, we currently have over 1000 dual credit high school students who have completed 15+ hours of college credit with Texarkana College, representing huge savings to them and their families.”
Dr. Boyles said 105 students graduated with academic honors showing their commitment to providing a brighter future for themselves and their families.
