The Washington Youth Tour program is open to all high school juniors living in SSVEC's service area. SSVEC representatives offered presentations in nine area high schools to introduce the program. Study materials were distributed and about a week later students took a qualifying test on those materials. The test consisted of 50 true/false questions. We are excited to announce the highest scoring students from St. David High School who now advance to the next level: Aaron Edington, Jordan Parker, Cayden Richins, Jaxon Savage, Cedar Haynie and Isabella Hennessy. Best of luck to each of you in phase two!

We had a very successful season for middle school volleyball! I’m so proud of all the growth and hard work we have seen from all three teams this season.  Our A Team went 7-1 all season. We ended CAC in second place to Benson. The girls left everything on the court and fought hard all three sets. I’m sad to see our 8th graders go but excited to see what they accomplish next year in high school! I’m so grateful I get to coach all these wonderful girls! --Head Coach Daisy Johnson

Senior Lauren Jones was chosen as an Arizona state representative for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Youth Leadership Council (YLC). This opportunity arose as a result of her participation in the Washington Youth Tour this summer. As part of her responsibilities in this role, Lauren hosted an assembly for all high school students where a member of SSVEC spoke to the youth about the co-op . Lauren practiced her public speaking skills as she spoke to the students about youth advocacy and the importance of voting. She encouraged all 18-year old students to vote, and helped interested students to register. We are proud of Lauren's leadership, determination to improve our community, and efforts to make our country a better place!
