Local Students Visit Tallahassee On Annual Youth Tour

February 22, 2018

Ten high school juniors from the Escambia River Electric Cooperative service area recently took part in the annual Tallahassee Youth Tour to learn more about their state legislature and electric cooperatives.

Participants included Gabby Chavers, Lane Hoffman and Logan Hoffman from Central High School; Emily Brown, Alyssa Chavis, Bryce Cook, Jared Damron, Maci Holt and McKayla Hoomes from Jay High School; and Lydia Smith from Northview High School.

While in Tallahassee, the students met with other high school juniors from electric cooperatives throughout the state. Approximately 120 students participated in this year’s Youth Tour event.

EREC delegates toured the Governor’s Mansion and visited the Florida State High Magnetic Field Laboratory Tour. Students participated in a mock session in the House of Representatives and an Educational Court Session in the Supreme Court.
