Congratulations and thank you to all of our fall sports and activities teams for representing Elkhorn South High School with a high caliber of play and, more importantly, high class and sportsmanship.
A brief season wrap-up and awards distinctions include:
After demonstrating outstanding leadership potential, Elizabeth Eischeid 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.
Archita Raj was selected to attend the Nebraska Leadership Seminar (NLS) at Southeast Community College in Milford, Nebraska this summer. Nebraska Leadership Seminar, Inc.
