HOUSTON SCHOOLS HONORS PARAPROFESSIONALS
AREA STUDENTS EARN INTERCOUNTY TRIPS
High school juniors from across Intercounty Electric’s service territory competed March 24 at the cooperative’s Licking office for all-expensespaid trips to Washington D.C. Each school submitted their top three essay winners to compete. One student from each school was eligible to win the trip to Washington, D.C., and two runners-up earned trips to a leadership conference in Jefferson City.
One by one, each student was interviewed on topics relating to rural electric cooperatives and Intercounty.
“The competition was intense as each school was represented by highly motivated and intelligent students,” Intercounty said. “A congratulations is due to all of these juniors as they should truly be proud of their accomplishments as tomorrow’s leaders.”
