Three SCHS Students Attend HOBY Seminar On May 14- 18, not one, but three students representing Susquehanna Community High School attended the Hugh O’Brien Leadership Seminar at Millersville University in Lancaster, PA. The Hugh O’Brien Leadership Program (H.O.B.Y.) was founded by former actor Hugh O’Brien after a trip to Africa, when he met the world-renowned Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who inspired him with his selfless sense of humanitarianism. Schweitzer believed that the most important thing in education is to teach young people to think for themselves. After meeting Dr. Schweitzer, Hugh O’Brien created the nationwide H.O.B.Y. program in order to provide lifelong leadership development opportunities which will empower individuals to achieve their highest potential. This year, H.O.B.Y. celebrates its fiftieth anniversary of empowering our future leaders of tomorrow. Sophomore T.J. Kelly was selected as the ambassador for 2008. His future plans are to attend college and pursue a career in political law. In order to return to the seminar each year, an alumna must have completed at least 100 hours of community service. Junior Hannah Price attended the seminar as an alumna. Hannah plans to attend college and pursue a degree in international communications. Senior Tara Flor will attend St. Bonaventure University this fall, and plans to study neuroscience. Tara plans to remain involved with H.O.B.Y. throughout her college career.
