The Mary Jon, and J.P. Bryan Leadership in Education Award of $5,000 goes out each year to a higher education professor for outstanding attainments in historical pedagogy. University professors have been the usual recipients of this Texas-wide accolade, with educators from Sul Ross, Tarleton State, and the University of Texas at El Paso, winning the most recent awards. However, in the last twelve years, two of the winners have not only been from a smaller community college— they have been from the same institution— Northeast Texas Community College. Both were honored recently at a luncheon in Irving, Texas on 6 March during the meeting of the TSHA where all of the past winners of the Mary Jon, and J.P. Bryan Leadership Award were invited for a free meal, a free night of lodging at the Irving Westin Hotel, and given a special red and gold pin.

The Northeast Texas Community College Board of Trustees met for its regular monthly meeting on March 31, 2026, highlighting student success, campus initiatives, and future projects.
