"Mead High School alum, Hunter Humphrey, found his passion and purpose through the school’s Energy Academy, a program that opens doors to real-world learning and industry connections. After taking classes like AP Environmental Science, Energy in Society, and Energy Storage and the Grid, he earned 3.0 college credits from Aims Community College. His hands-on experiences, from studying solar farms to exploring emerging technologies, inspired him to pursue a future that blends energy studies with cybersecurity, “Everyone should take one year of Energy Academy. It opened doors, introduced me to incredible people, and sparked interests I never knew I had.”"
