Several students were recently chosen to represent ESHS at various upcoming leadership opportunities, giving participants an opportunity to develop their skills.
After demonstrating outstanding leadership potential, sophomore Emma LeDent, daughter of Jeff and Suzanne LeDent, was selected to attend the Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar. The HOBY Seminar, a yearly summer event held at a Nebraska College or University, will be held at Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska. HOBY’s mission is to inspire and develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service and innovation.
Sophomore Zachary Eischeid was selected to attend the Nebraska Leadership Seminar (NLS) at Southeast Community College in Milford, Nebraska this summer. Zac is the son of Chris and Terri Eischeid of Valley. Nebraska Leadership Seminar, Inc. (NLS) is a nonprofit organization focused upon helping students recognize their leadership strengths. Each year, NLS hosts a four-day seminar for high school sophomores to challenge, empower and inspire them to become the leaders Nebraska needs.
Both students were selected to represent Elkhorn South after completing an extensive application and interviewing process, and both are actively involved at Elkhorn South and have numerous volunteer and leadership experiences in our community.
HOBY also facilitates an outstanding freshman leadership experience called HOBY Community Leadership Workshop (CLeW). CLeW offers students a one-day HOBY-style experience about leadership and community service. Students interested in attending CLeW go through an application process at Elkhorn South. This year, Brooke Kingston and Meenakshi Sanikommu were selected to attend CLeW. Brooke is the daughter of Kyan and Alison Kingston of Omaha. Meenakshi is the daughter of Sudhakar Sanikommu and Nagavardhini Avuthu of Omaha.
