Celebrating Our Future: Over 1,000 Local Students Graduate from Texas Southmost College

On May 11, 2024, Texas Southmost College (TSC) held its Spring 2024 Commencement ceremonies at the Jacob Brown Auditorium. The event included three sessions at 9:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m., with each attended by over 1,000 students along with their families, friends, and faculty. This day marked the completion of their studies and the start of their future careers.

A key feature of the commencement was the acknowledgment of 490 dual credit students from local high schools like Hanna, Lopez, Rivera, and others. These students earned their college degrees before their high school diplomas, highlighting the effectiveness of TSC’s dual credit program that merges high school and college education.

The keynote speaker, Dr. Jesus H. Chavez, a TSC alumnus, delivered a speech focusing on the importance of dedication and perseverance. He praised the dual achievements of the students and stressed the significant support from families and educators. Dr. Chavez also shared success stories of past graduates from the Southmost area to inspire the new graduates.
