Owen Bubczyk is Catoctin High School’s 2017-2018 Hugh O’Brien Youth (HOBY) Leadership Award winner. He will be attending the leadership conference at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg in May.
Bubczyk submitted an application to be considered for this award and was chosen because of his volunteer and leadership experiences. According to Catoctin High School teacher, Keith Bruck, “Out of the applications submitted, Owen’s addressed best the requirements for the essay. His leadership qualities and desire to be involved in charitable foundations, such as the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, made Owen an easy choice for the award. He is a great young man who will embrace and enjoy all that the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Seminar has to offer.”
HOBY was created in 1958, with the mission to inspire young people to a life of leadership, service, and innovation. HOBY provides students who are selected by their schools to participate in leadership training, service-learning, and motivation-building experiences. Bubczyk will join other high school sophomores on Memorial Day weekend for this leadership training.
