2012 HOBY participants from Byron-Bergen High School: Paramjit Kaur (Holly) Sembhi, Laura Redinger and Robert Schrenker. Provided photoHugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminars have been held yearly throughout the United States and Canada since 1958. The purpose of HOBY is to provide sophomores the opportunity to meet many distinguished leaders of the community from various sectors such as business, technology, education, government, arts and science.
Every year, all sophomores are eligible and encouraged to apply for this exceptional leadership seminar. A group of sophomores around the country is selected based on a variety of criteria such as leadership ability, sensitivity to others, communication skills, community service, etc. This year, the organization allowed three students to attend from Byron-Bergen High School. Paramjit Kaur (Holly) Sembhi, daughter of Kamaljit Sembhi and Jasvir Kaur; Laura Redinger, daughter of Carolyn and Charles Redinger; and Robert Schrenker, son of Lori and John Schrenker, were selected as Byron-Bergen High School “HOBY Ambassadors.” They will attend the HOBY seminar at the University of Rochester June 1-3. Funding this year was provided by the Byron Kiwanis for two of the students, and the Byron-Bergen S.T.E.P. Boosters and Byron-Bergen School District provided funding for the third student to attend.
