Two FCDS Students Attend Leadership Program
Rebecca Drucker ‘20 and Gracie Fowler ‘20 attended the North Carolina West HOBY Leadership Seminar at Wake Forest University from June 8 to June 10.
Approximately 120 rising high school juniors attend this 3-day leadership program each June in Winston-Salem. HOBY Ambassadors have an opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills, learn about their personal leadership styles, and form an appreciation for community service. They attend panel sessions featuring prominent speakers from our government, businesses, media, and educational communities.
HOBY Ambassadors also participate in a community service project and learn how they can lead in service in their own communities. As a result of their experiences, the high school Ambassadors return to their schools and communities eager to make a difference and share what they have learned.
The HOBY - Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership is one of the oldest and most prominent youth leadership organizations in the world. HOBY was founded by actor Hugh O’Brian after spending nine inspirational days working and volunteering with Dr. Albert Schweitzer, the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize Winner. O’Brian sought to change the world in his own way—by engaging young leaders, the world’s most promising enterprise and greatest asset. In 1958, HOBY was born.
These two HOBY ambassadors were selected by their teachers to attend this highly regarded program. We're very proud of them and know they represented FCDS very well. Congratulations to Rebecca and Gracie!
