We congratulate these students on their outstanding accomplishments in academics and leadership.

Congratulations to 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝘀𝗼𝗻 as she has been chosen to represent Dixie Electric Cooperative at the 2023 Montgomery Youth Tour in March.

The Youth Tour provides the opportunity for outstanding high school juniors to participate in leadership programs, learn more about the cooperative form of business, and tour historical sites in our state capital, as well as our nation’s capital. Congratulations, Anna! We are so proud of you and know she will represent Macon well.

Introduced by SGA Chaplain Ethan Jones, speaker and youth pastor, Dawson Locklier from Macedonia Baptist Church in Union Springs, AL spoke to the students about choosing a righteous path in life. Gabe Spencer and Thaddeus McKinney held up chairs to represent the heavy weight of sin. The 4 chairs pictured each represented the place where all people are in their faith. His message is that he wants all students to be in love with God and choose the path that leads to eternal life in heaven. Macon East chapel services are designed to encourage, educate, and challenge students to pursue a closer walk with God. They play an important role in each child’s education but also in their spiritual development so that they can bring God glory with their lives.
