Pedernales Electric Cooperative proudly participated in the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s (NRECA) 2020 Youth Tour program, which sends local high school students on a trip to Washington, D.C., each summer. PEC’s delegates will join 1,500 additional students chosen from electric cooperatives across the country June 17-26.
While in Washington, students will visit historical sites, meet with their elected officials in Congress and learn more about the government.
This year, PEC selected 10 students as representatives. They include: Catarina Vazquez of San Marcos Academy, Jesus Jimenez of Hays High School, Luthary Segura of Wimberley High School, Danae Barkocy of Leander High School, Buda home school student Nyah Gray, Pierce Heller of Canyon Lake High School, Vishal Narra of Westwood High School, Ashlee Reed of Georgetown High School, Morgan Sholund of Smithson Valley High School and Stephanie Valdez of Leander High School.
