The Federal Aviation Administration certified Hallmark as an Aviation Maintenance Technician School on September 18, 
1969, and the doors were opened for eight students. The original campus was located at San Antonio’s historic Stinson Municipal Airport.
Richard H. Fessler became the school’s president in 1974. His leadership and commitment to quality education guided the school through the 70s and 80s with significant accomplishment.
In 1981, our Electronics Program was launched. In 1982, Hallmark received degree-granting approval and became the first private career school in the State of Texas to award an associate degree.
By January 1985, the growth of our programs made it possible to open a second campus. The Electronics Program was relocated to the northwest corridor of San Antonio at 10401 lH-10 West. In 1988, Business Programs were launched at this new campus.
In 1995, the Aviation Technology Programs were relocated to a new campus at the San Antonio International Airport. At this time, Hallmark Aero-Tech became known as Hallmark Institute of Aeronautics and Hallmark Institute of Technology.
In our continuing quest for excellence in education, Hallmark College strives to meet the current and future demands of business, industry, and the community by continuing to expand and develop our programs. As a result, in 2002 Hallmark College introduced a new degree program in Computer Network Systems Technology and 2003 two new degree programs in Medical Assistant and Business Office Administration.
In 2007, the names of the two campuses were changed to Hallmark College of Aeronautics and Hallmark College of Technology. In 2008, the College had approved Microsoft Office seminars and Microsoft Technical seminars, the Medical Assistant Certificate program and the Healthcare Information Specialist (Billing/Coding) Certificate program. Approval was given in March 2009 to begin a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management. Approval for the Accounting Certificate program was granted in August, 2009. A hybrid learning environment was approved for the Technology Campus in September 2009. Hallmark College of Technology was approved by ACCSC as the Main Campus and Hallmark College of Aeronautics was approved as the Branch Campus in November, 2009. In December, 2009, Hallmark Aero-Tech, Inc. became Hallmark Aero-Tech, LP. On March 12, 2009, Hallmark College of Technology was approved to add concentrations in Accounting and Information Technology to the existing Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree program.
Over the years, Hallmark College has earned a reputation for providing quality education and service. Currently, Richard H. Fessler serves as Chairman of Hallmark College and Joe Fisher serves as College System President.
