The Harris's Hawk
Harry the Hawk — a Harris’s Hawk — serves as the spirit symbol of TJC. Carefully chosen to complement the Apache name, the Harris’s Hawk holds deep cultural meaning—long respected in Native American lore for its wisdom, strength, and role in passing knowledge from one generation to the next. As a guide and protector, the hawk reflects the values TJC instills in its students: leadership, learning, and community.
Harry the Hawk embodies the spirit of the TJC Apaches and the spirit of TJC. We are proud to have him as part of our pack and our legacy.
Be sure to look around campus as you never know when Harry will be soaring in, but you can often find him cheering on and supporting his fellow Apaches at athletic events.
