Four Fox Chapel Area High School sophomores were selected to receive Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) recognition. Annalese Bartolacci, Amelia Costello, Lakshanya Rajaganapathi, and Abraham White have been chosen to attend the Pennsylvania-West HOBY Leadership Seminar June 17-19, 2022.
To be considered for selection, the students submit an essay detailing what would be the most challenging and rewarding aspects of being a school or community leader. They also go through an interview process.
As part of the seminar, the students explore and discover their personal leadership potential and strengths through development programs. The interactive seminars, held on college or university campuses, follow HOBY’s leadership development curriculum, which enables students to discover leadership from a personal, group, and socially responsible perspective.
For more than five decades, HOBY has inspired young people to become catalysts for positive change in their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. HOBY aims to inspire and develop a global community of youth and volunteers dedicated to leadership, service, and innovation.
