They were privileged to learn the elements of government while having fun doing so.

Every year, Petit Jean Electric Cooperative is part of Youth Tour. Youth Tour is a week of every summer that rural cooperatives take upcoming seniors from every state to Washington D.C. There, they learn why freedom is not free. One of CHS’s students, Brittany Shannon, entered in the essay contest to be eligible to go on this trip and she was selected. While in Washington D.C., she was able to visit Arlington Cemetery, the Smithsonian museums, Library of Congress, United States Capitol, Holocaust Museum, and much more!

Khristina Huff participated in Arkansas Governor’s School! It was held at Hendrix University, where upcoming seniors from all over the state, go to participate in learning over the summer at a higher level.

Clinton High School students were very busy and very successful over the summer.
