Progress in a community often starts with education, and right now, Angelina College is creating meaningful momentum for Angelina County through leadership, innovation, and long-term investment.
Today’s Red Carpet Salute was an opportunity to pause and celebrate milestones that reflect both vision and impact, and Angelina College has plenty to be proud of.
Building Workforce Readiness Where It Matters Most
Angelina College continues to strengthen the connection between education and opportunity with the launch of its Commercial Driver’s License and Electrical Lineworker programs. These in-demand pathways are designed to meet real workforce needs while giving students direct access to high-skill, high-impact careers right here at home.
By aligning training with industry demand, the College is helping employers grow, families thrive, and our regional economy stay competitive.
Investing in Campus and Community
Major campus renovations are another sign of forward-focused leadership. These improvements are not just about buildings. They represent a commitment to student experience, learning environments, and the long-term vitality of the institution. A modern, welcoming campus sends a clear message that education matters and that our community is investing in its future.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating: SACSCOC Accreditation Success
Angelina College’s recent SACSCOC accreditation success is a significant achievement and a testament to the dedication of its faculty, staff, and leadership. Accreditation reinforces academic quality, accountability, and continuous improvement, ensuring students receive education that meets the highest standards.
Red Carpet Salute Congratulations
