HOBY winners :::
Two LT sophomores named HOBY winners
Lyons Township High School sophomores K. Maicke and A. Greifenkamp were named the
school’s representatives for the annual Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership (HOBY) Leadership Seminar.
The HOBY award recognizes high school sophomores for their leadership talents and helps them become
effective, ethical leaders in their home, schools, workplace and community.
Currently, nearly 9,000 sophomores, representing as many high schools nationwide, attend HOBY
Leadership Seminars each year. The seminars provide a high level of energy, encouragement and
motivation, as well as interaction with peers, panelists and volunteers to nurture your future
leadership roles.
Students attending the HOBY seminar participate in hands-on leadership activities and meet
state leaders in such as areas as business, government, education, media and the non-profit sector.
Maicke and Greifenkamp will attend the HOBY state seminar in June.
Students were asked to write two essays and submit a resume. The questions were: What
does it mean to you to be a leader? And, what do you hope to gain by participating in a leadership
training program?
HOBY began in 1958 under the leadership of TV actor and humanitarian Hugh O’Brian with the
purpose of providing leadership development opportunities to educate and empower tomorrow’s young
leaders.
