Special to Atmore News

March 15-17, Southern Pine Electric Co-op took 12 high school juniors to Montgomery to participate in the 2022 Montgomery Youth Tour. While in Montgomery, students heard from motivational speaker Cea Cohen-Elliot and legislators. Students were able to see a hotline demonstration and watch apprentice linemen climb poles and learn more about their profession. Students were also treated to a dinner-dance and a movie and game night.
