TC Distinguished Faculty Arbor Awards

Each spring a committee of current and former students, TC board of trustee representatives, faculty and administrators honor an exemplary retired or current Texarkana College faculty member with the planting of a tree on the campus grounds. This is the highest honor that the College can bestow upon a faculty member. These individuals have served Texarkana College for the majority of their careers and by their selfless dedication and service to their students and professional disciplines have brought honor and recognition to Texarkana College.
These individuals are truly "teachers of teachers".
