TJC is one of the largest community colleges in Texas, with an enrollment of more than 12,000 credit students each year with an additional 20,000 continuing education enrollments annually; a separate West Campus is primarily used for continuing education and vocational training programs.

History

The college operated as part of the Tyler public school system from its inception in 1926 until 1945, when voters supported the creation of an independent Tyler Junior College District. The junior college district now includes the Tyler, Chapel Hill, Grand Saline, Lindale, Van, and Winona school districts.

TJC today

The school competes in the National Junior College Athletic Association's Region XIV with Apache men's soccer, football, basketball, baseball, tennis and golf teams and Apache Ladies women's volleyball, soccer, basketball, tennis and golf teams. The school won national junior college championships in women's basketball in 2000, and baseball in 2007 and men's golf 2008.

The school is also known for its Apache Marching Band, Apache Belles drill team and Drum Line, The Apache Punch. [ [http://www.tjc.edu/apachebelles/ Apache Belle - Since 1947 - Tyler Junior College ] ]
