For several years, South Central Power Company has recognized the outstanding work of high school athletes and programs across our service area, alongside some of our lineworkers. It takes hard work, grit, and determination to excel in high school athletics, and those same qualities are what’s required to keep the lights on for our members, day in and day out.
