Trinity Valley Community College held graduation ceremonies for 20 students who recently passed the GED test. Program Director Chris Hicks paid tribute to the late James Wallace, a recent GED recipient who would have joined this graduating class, but who drowned May 4. Commencement speaker Eric Mills, himself a former TVCC graduate, commended the graduates on their accomplishment and urged them to continue their education as he did. Mills is currently a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor with the Texas Workforce Commission.
