The Mary Jon, and J.P. Bryan Leadership in Education Award of $5,000 goes out each year to a higher education professor for outstanding attainments in historical pedagogy.  University professors have been the usual recipients of this Texas-wide accolade, with educators from Sul Ross, Tarleton State, and the University of Texas at El Paso, winning the most recent awards.  However, in the last twelve years, two of the winners have not only been from a smaller community college—they have been from the same institution—Northeast Texas Community College.
