The recognition event was held at The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium,
where three local area students were presented the 2019 DP&L
and Vectren Leadership Scholarship. Chloe Spencer of West
Liberty-Salem High School, Erin Tebbe of Twin Valley High School
and Alexander House of Oakwood High School will each receive $1,000
towards their college expenses.
Chloe Spencer plans to attend the University of Toledo majoring
in chemical engineering. Erin Tebbe is heading to Purdue University
to study engineering. Alexander House will major in aerospace
engineering at the University of Cincinnati.
Each year, DP&L teams up with Vectren to host the OEP Energy
Fair teaching young people about energy efficiency through hands-on
sessions that allow high school students to mentor their younger
counterparts. These companies generously provide funding for the
curriculum, training and materials that promote energy literacy and
leadership for students and their families each year.
DP&L was also recognized by OEP for its long-standing
partnership and contributions to the program. The award celebrates
a 30-year milestone of continued support and participation in the
program.
In addition, DP&L has sponsored the Be E3 Smart energy
efficiency program since 2009. As a result, more than 50,000
energy efficiency kits have been sent home through the classroom.
DP&L is supporting the AEGIS Energy Bike building program for
the fifth year.
Two area teachers were honored with the Excellence in Energy
Efficiency award. Jovita Wade, an intervention specialist at
Fairborn High School, received the DP&L Teacher Award and Heidi
Edwards, a science educator from Oakwood High School in Dayton,
received the Vectren Teacher Award. Both award recipients have
participated in OEP programs for several years, tailoring their
curriculums to foster the next generation of energy leaders and
conservation thinkers.
