Pumefl Swett High student to attend leadership seminar
Dwayne Allen Locklear. ton of Milton and FYeda
Lock!ear, has been selected to attend the annual Hugh
0'Brian Leadership Seminar. This program is available to
outstanding sophomore students across the United
States. The selection process is extremely rigid and
limited to a small number of sophomore students.
Dwayne lorklear was selected because he is an
outstanding student at Puntell Swett High School.
The philosophy of the program is simple. Bring
together a select group of high school sophomores with
demonstrated leadership qualities with a group of
distinguished leaders in business ediwtuinn wive
merit, and the professions. Through intense but informal
discussions, they interact. The young people get a
realistic look at what makes America great and a better
understanding of our nation's role in the world
community.
This question-and-answer, give-and-take format helps
to teach these sophomores, known as HORY Ambassa
dors, to think for themselves. They learn that as
individuals they are important-that their thoughts and
actions can make a difference. HOBY motivates students
by showing them that how to think can be just as
important as what to think.
