The Kilgore College Board of Trustees is the elected governing body of Kilgore College. The Trustees, in collaboration with the College President, are entrusted with the responsibility of establishing the vision, mission and direction for Kilgore College. In addition, the Board develops goals and policies consistent with KC’s mission, supports the college’s continued growth and success, provides rigorous financial oversight, utilizes data to make strategic decisions to improve KC, and promotes educational excellence at Kilgore College.

  • KILGORE COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING: 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 11, 2025 on the second floor of the McLaurin Administration Building.

Kilgore College is currently accepting applications to fill a vacancy on its Board of Trustees following the passing of longtime board member Mr. Jon Rowe in April. Mr. Rowe represented the North Zone, which includes the Gladewater, White Oak, and Sabine Independent School Districts.

The individual appointed to this position will serve through the next General Election on May 1, 2027, and will be eligible to run for election at that time.

The Board of Trustees seeks a dedicated candidate who shares Kilgore College’s mission and vision and is committed to advocating for the college within the community. The ideal applicant will actively participate in board and committee meetings and attend college-related events. This volunteer role requires collaboration with the college president and administration to support and strengthen the college’s impact in higher education and the broader community.

Interested applicants must submit:

  • A completed application form
  • A current résumé
  • Two (2) letters of reference
  • A cover letter outlining their interest in serving on the Board

The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on Monday, June 23.
