Apache Belles Spring Show

A letter from the TJC President and CEO Dear Family and Friends, It is my honor to welcome you to Belle Land, home of the Internationally Famous Apache Belles! The Tyler Junior College Apache Belles continue to be a symbol of beauty, grace, and unparalleled talent, and it is for this reason that Family Weekly has hailed them as “the prettiest drill team in the world,” attributing this special recognition to Apache Belles everywhere.

The Apache Belles are synonymous with the values of our beloved institution, which include Unity, Caring, Integrity, Empowerment, and Excellence, and serve as ambassadors throughout the world of Apache Nation and the Black and Gold.

As a United TJC, I invite you to fellowship, reconnect, and embrace the longstanding 76- year history, and please express wholehearted appreciation to the very special leaders who have worked tirelessly and collaboratively to see the 2024 Apache Belle Spring Show become a reality.

To continue honoring the Circle – Ladies and gentleman, please help me welcome the 76th and 77th lines of none other than the Internationally Famous Apache Belles!

Juan E. Mejia President & CEO
