Two more DeSoto students chosen HOBY leaders

DESOTO COUNTY-DeSoto County School sophomores Vivi Ding, Hernando High, and Jessica Correia, Olive Branch High, have been selected to represent their schools at the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership seminar May 29-31 at Millsaps College in Jackson.

The students were nominated for the honor by teachers and staff and selected with a scoring system based on communication and decision-making skills, creative thinking, sensitivity to the needs of others, courage to speak out for their beliefs, and community service involvement and leadership ability.

The HOBY Leadership seminars bring together a select group of high school sophomores from public and private high schools throughout each state in the nation to interact with groups of distinguished leaders in business, government, education and other sectors to discuss present and future issues.
