MYL (Maine Youth Leadership), HOBY (Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership), and RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) are organizations that sponsor a weekend-long leadership seminar in early summer for sophomore students. Representatives from the sophomore class are selected to attend each seminar. These are excellent opportunities for students to meet other sophomores from across the state and participate in discussions, group activities, and presentations from community leaders. The goal of these seminars is to enhance and strengthen leadership skills. Students who have gone in the past have raved about their experiences, and many return as alumni every year to volunteer at the seminars!
Students can pick up an application from the School Counseling Office. The deadline for returning applications is January 24th.
Please feel free to contact Mrs. Martin if you have any questions.
