Calling All Sophomores!

Each school year, one representative from MCC’s sophomore class is chosen to attend the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Conference (HOBY) at the regional level with an opportunity to later advance to HOBY at the national level.

The HOBY program recognizes 10th grade as an important decision-making time in developing leadership potential in high school students and encourages 10th grade students with demonstrated or potential leadership skills to apply for this opportunity. The deadline is November 30.
