TCEC is proud to celebrate the achievements of several local high school juniors who have been selected for exceptional educational experiences this summer.

Three students—Katey Yates of Texhoma, Nathun Urias of Hooker, and Daniel Ponce Villalobos of Turpin—have earned a spot on the prestigious Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. This June, they will travel to the nation’s capital, where they will explore historic monuments, iconic landmarks, and sites that have shaped American history, all while gaining a deeper understanding of civic leadership and the electric cooperative industry.

In addition, juniors Elizabeth Buller of Turpin and Madison Cash of Beaver have been chosen to attend the Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This immersive, week-long experience will combine leadership development, outdoor adventure, and hands-on learning. Highlights of the camp include a visit to the Craig Power Station, a major energy facility, as well as a variety of team-building and recreational activities set against Colorado’s scenic landscape.

TCEC remains committed to investing in its young members’ future by creating meaningful opportunities that encourage learning, leadership, and exploration. These experiences help students broaden their horizons while gaining valuable insight into the role electric cooperatives play in their communities and beyond.
