Funeral Services for B.R. Hughes, Former TC Dean of Students

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of former Texarkana College Dean of Students, B.R. Hughes, who passed away on September 17, 2024.

Mr. Hughes was one of the four founders of the American Bladesmith Society and was instrumental in bringing this unique program to Texarkana College. Texarkana College’s Bill Moran School of Bladesmithing was launched in 1988 in partnership with the American Bladesmith Society and was the first of its kind in the world.

Hughes Classroom was named in honor of Mr. Hughes in 2019.
