HOBY Leadership Conference

Counselors will be meeting with the sophomore class about the HOBY Leadership Conference held in the summer on October 4th. This is an amazing opportunity for students to build leadership skills with their peers. Each year Elyria Catholic sends 2 sophomores to attend the conference. Students must apply by writing an essay about why they would like to go and how they could benefit from the conference. Essays will be reviewed by a committee of teachers/staff and chosen based on their essay. One student will receive a full scholarship to attend this conference and another student will receive a partial scholarship for this conference. Please click on the link below for more information about the HOBY Conference for Parents and Students. Please encourage your student to apply. Please let counseling know if you have any additional questions.
