Three rising juniors from SLES recently participated in the prestigious HOBY (Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership) Leadership Seminar held on the campus of Troy University.
Kenlee Hamilton, Atli Johnston, and Dylan Driskell were selected to represent St. Luke’s for their demonstrated leadership, service, citizenship, and commitment to making a positive impact on their school and community. The HOBY Leadership Seminar is designed to inspire and develop high school students into confident, ethical leaders prepared to make a difference locally and globally.
Throughout the week-long program, the students joined fellow student leaders from across Alabama in interactive leadership workshops, team-building activities, and small-group discussions. Participants also attended presentations led by accomplished professionals, community leaders, and motivational speakers who shared insights on leadership development, civic engagement, and personal growth.
The students were accompanied by St. Luke’s alumni counselor, Megan McDonough, who served as a facilitator during the seminar. Together, participants explored Hugh O’Brian’s mission of leadership through service and completed community-focused projects that emphasized collaboration, responsibility, and servant leadership.
As a leading college-preparatory school in Mobile, Alabama, St. Luke’s Episcopal School is committed to providing students with opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and to encouraging leadership, character development, and community involvement. Programs such as HOBY help students build the skills and confidence needed to become future leaders in their schools, universities, and communities.
We are proud of Kenlee, Atli, and Dylan for representing St. Luke’s at this outstanding leadership program and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will continue to make throughout their high school careers and beyond.
