Congratulations to Devon J. Gladysz, 10th grade Diesel and Heavy Equipment Repair student and Steven P. Hurst, 10th grade Computer Aided Drafting and Design student.  Both Devon and Steven have been selected to participate in the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) Seminar during the spring of 2008.  

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 returning from spending nine inspirational days working and volunteering with Dr. Albert Schweitzer, the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize Winner.

Two weeks after his visit, O’Brian sought out 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.  

The HOBY organization, amongst many things, aims to encourage leadership, motivate future leaders to become full participants in the democratic system, and develop confidence in outstanding 10th grade students.  Cheney Technical High School is very proud to have Devon J. Gladysz and Steven P. Hurst represent us.
