Our CHS juniors are working on their Canoochee EMC Washington Youth Tour Competition entries! Earlier this month, Canoochee EMC’s Joe Sikes encouraged all CHS juniors to enter this year’s Washington Youth Tour Competition! Damonae Wharton, one of last year's Washington Youth Tour winners and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) representative for WHOLE state of Georgia for the Youth Leadership Council, also encouraged the Class of 2025 to pursue this AWESOME opportunity! The first round of competition requires an essay entry, and round two involves an in-person interview. Winners of the contest receive a week-long, all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC, a cash award, and more. The deadline for essays is February 2. Information about this contest, including essay topics, is in the 2025 Cohort Google Classroom. We are grateful to Mrs. Kirby and Mrs. Walker for supporting our juniors in this competition! Also, we are thankful for Canoochee EMC’s support of our school and students! We wish the Class of 2025 all the best in this year's competition!
