Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation is proud to congratulate three schools in our service area that were selected for TVA STEM Classroom Awards.

White Plains School, VITAL School, and Algood Middle School were awarded funding to support classroom projects in science, technology, engineering, and math. These projects help students strengthen problem solving skills, spark curiosity, and explore future career pathways through hands on learning.
