Congratulations to South Williamsport Jr/Sr High School sophomores Lily Brink and Nick Rissel, who were selected to be the student representatives for South at the HOBY – Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership Pennsylvania – Central Leadership Seminar at Millersville University!

HOBY gives students across Pennsylvania a chance to build communication skills, cultivate relationships, and strengthen leadership abilities.  These students work to bring that mindset back to their school district and inspire positive changes in the classroom.

“Both students are fantastic candidates and school representatives.  Lily is responsible, kind, and hardworking.  She is a student who inspires those around her and always strives to do her best with a positive, upbeat attitude.  Lily is a student who excels in the classroom. She approaches subjects with curiosity and excitement.  Nick is determined, creative, and hardworking.  He is a student who encourages those around him and works hard in everything he does, with a smile on his face.  Nick is a student who excels in the classroom, as he approaches every subject with insightful questions and thoughtful participation.  He is personable and kind.  Lily and Nick’s personal and academic strengths are sure to have a lasting impact on their school and community. We are excited to hear about all they learned and accomplished while at HOBY.  Congratulations, Lily and Nick!  We are so excited and proud of both of you!” – Reanna Peritz, SWHS Counselor
