Jerry Everhart Recognized for 50 Years of Service

On March 16, 2023, Electric Systems Operator Jerry Everhart was recognized with a 50-year service award from the City of High Point Electric Utilities Department. Everhart actually reached this landmark on March 16, 2020, but because of the pandemic, the department could not gather to recognize him.

He started with the City on March 16, 1970, and has been a dedicated employee ever since. Everhart is not retiring, but the department took the opportunity to honor him now that it is safe to gather again.

City Manager Tasha Logan-Ford presented him with a key to the city, and he received a letter of recognition from Mayor Wagner. Everhart was born and raised in High Point, and he knows our electrical system better than anyone will ever know it.
