🎓✨Instructor Spotlight: Full Circle Success ✨🎓

LET'S GET TO KNOW....Quentin Harston!!!

We are proud to highlight one of our outstanding Adjunct Instructors whose journey with Northeast Texas Community College has truly come full circle.

After graduating from the NTCC Funeral Service Program in 2022, he went on to build a successful career as a licensed funeral director and embalmer, serving families throughout East Texas. Prior to and during his education, he also proudly served in the United States Army National Guard from 2017-2023, demonstrating a commitment to both service and education.

Today, he has returned to NTCC, not as a student, but as an Adjunct Instructor in the very program that helped launch his career.

"Being able to teach in the same program that prepared me for my own career is incredibly meaningful. I hope to give current students the same knowledge, guidance and encouragement that helped me along my journey."

Stories like this remind us of the impact that education, mentorship, and dedication can have, not only on a career, but on an entire profession. We are honored to have Quentin sharing his knowledge and experience with the next generation of funeral service professionals.

👏Please join us in congratulating Quentin on this exciting chapter!
