Each year, Lamar Electric Cooperative selects two high school students to attend an all-expenses-paid tour of Washington, D.C., which includes visiting the U.S. Capitol and meeting members of Congress. Eligible students must be in 10th, 11th or 12th grade and live full time in a residence served by Lamar Electric Cooperative or attend one of the four high schools served by the co-op: Prairiland, Roxton, Detroit and Faith Christian. Home-schooled students served by Lamar Electric Cooperative are also eligible. 

Lamar Electric Cooperative offers classroom safety demonstrations using PowerTOWN®, a high voltage demonstration model which shows a variety of contact hazards with overhead and underground service.
