South Kentucky RECC recently took ten area students to Washington, D. C. for the 41st annual Washington Rural Electric Youth Tour on June 15-22, including one student from Clinton County High School, Savannah Stockton, shown at far left in the above photo.

The Kentucky Rural Electric Washington Youth Tour is an annual, week-long, all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D. C., which is open to select high school students whose homes are served by electric cooperatives.

Most of Kentucky’s electric cooperatives, including South Kentucky RECC, participate in this tour each year, with 94 high school students from across the state participating this year. Nationwide, electric co-ops from 41 states send students, with nearly 1,500 young men and women from across the nation gathering in Washington, D. C. each year.

The group, while in Washington, D.C., visited many of our nation’s memorials, the U. S. Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery, and met with Kentucky’s congressmen and senators.
