HOBY

What is HOBY?

What can you do NOW to make an impact? HOBY programs are planned by people who believe in your ability to be a leader and affect the future for all of us.

During your HOBY experience, you will:

Discover and sharpen your leadership skills
Come face-to-face with current leaders in such fields as government, media, business, and education
Learn how to think, not what to think
Be empowered to value your own opinions and ideas
Be empowered to express those opinions among your peers
Be challenged to take your experience back to your home, school, and community and make a difference for others


Attending a HOBY program is a great chance for you to stand out and be outstanding; to show others who you are and what you can do. It’s an open door to lifelong leadership and service opportunities. We can’t wait to meet you and have you learn how to unlock your potential through HOBY

The HOBY conference is at Texas A&M Galveston 5/31-6/2.  All sophomores interested in attending should contact Mrs. Hall (counselor at CHS).
