TVCC History
The school became a multi-campus institution with the initiation of instructional programs at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Coffield, Beto I, Powledge, and Michael units beginning in 1969. Additional campuses were established in Palestine, TX in 1972 and Terrell, TX in 1973.
In 1983 the Health Science Center campus was opened in Kaufman, TX. In 1986, the Board of Trustees voted to rename the institution Trinity Valley Community College to better reflect the five county areas our campuses serve. Trinity Valley Community College has a proud heritage of service to our region and continues to support the needs of our community and student body.
