4 Ottawa High School sophomores selected as HOBY student ambassadors

Four sophomores were selected as student ambassadors representing Ottawa High School at the Hugh O’Brien Leadership Seminar in June at Illinois Wesleyan University.

The HOBY student ambassadors are Reese Purcell, Bella Knoll, Eli Jeppson and Jack Carroll.

These student ambassadors will participate in facilitated dialogue and abilities-based workshops to develop awareness of their leadership strengths and an understanding of their leadership values. Through these dynamic activities with their peers, students hone their skills and learn to recognize, amplify and collaborate with the diverse strengths of others. Held on college or university campuses, HOBY programs give students a taste of college life while students dive into engaging and fun leadership development curriculum.
