Hunter Emerson always wanted to be a lineman, and he knew it from the time he was five years old. At kindergarten graduation, they asked Hunter what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said, “I want to be a lineman just like my dad.” He never wavered and never even had a backup plan. There were tons of obstacles in his way, but he never gave up. Hunter graduated from Pratt Community College with an Electrical Powerline Technology degree in 2020. From there, he was invited to the Evergy boot camp, where he earned first place and landed a job at Evergy. The Hunter D. Emerson Lineman Scholarship is a tribute to Hunter and all of his accomplishments in becoming a lineman and following his dream.
