Senate Resolution No. 624 commemorates the 100th anniversary of Tyler Junior College (TJC), which was founded on September 17, 1926. Initially starting with 93 students and operating out of Tyler High School, TJC has grown significantly over the years, now serving over 19,000 students annually across multiple campuses and offering more than 120 degree and certificate programs. The college has a rich history, including the establishment of various student organizations, athletic achievements, and traditions that foster a strong community spirit. Notably, TJC was recognized as one of the nation's top 150 community colleges by the Aspen Institute in 2017 and has earned Military Friendly Silver status for the 2025-2026 school year.

The resolution expresses the Texas Senate's recognition of TJC's contributions to education and the community over the past century, highlighting its commitment to providing a comprehensive educational experience. It extends best wishes for the future to all those affiliated with the college and calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas Senate.
