Career Day for the elementary age students at DeKalb West was an electrifying experience. Students in Kindergarten through 5th grade saw Middle Tennessee Electric’s hotline safety demonstration trailer on March 23. Certified MTE linemen Gregg Hale, Rusty George, and Jon Blankenship conducted the demonstration.

Hailey Blackburn talked about her career as a dental hygienist, Brittney Moore spoke on welding and Jared Randolph, Owner of Cornerstone Pest and Wildlife Pros demonstrated what he does on the job.  Rick Harris spoke on his experiences as a railroad conductor with CSX.
