Clover School District and York School District 1 have a partnership through York Technical College in which students are trained to be Utility Line Workers and can go straight into the workforce upon high school graduation. Companies such as Duke Energy, Comporium, York Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Red Wing Shoes sponsor this program and provide equipment for students.
As a part of featuring the 35th Anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, WBTV News recently spotlighted Mr. Don Hamrick who was a ULW during Hurricane Hugo. Mr. Hamrick has since retired and now trains our ULW students. We are thrilled that "Mr. Don" is being recognized for his lifetime of service to others and greatly appreciate his dedication to his work and our students!
