APPLY NOW FOR YOUTH LEADERSHIP FORSYTH!
Let's Celebrate!!
Special Recognition: Angela Agbi-Owusu named as HOBY representative!
Angela Agbi-Owusu has been chosen as North Forsyth’s Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) representative for the 2020-21 school year! Hugh O’Brian was a successful actor who had the opportunity to spend time with Dr. Albert Schweitzer, a Nobel Peace Prize winner. His visit with Dr. Schweitzer instilled in him a desire to help youth develop into global community leaders. As a result, HOBY was founded with the mission of inspiring youth to a life of leadership, service, and innovation. For more than five decades, HOBY has inspired young people to make a difference and become catalysts for positive change in their home, school, workplace, and community.
State leadership seminars are held each year where students can discover their potential and how to use it to make positive changes in their schools and communities. Each year, our teachers are asked to nominate outstanding 10th grade students for the opportunity to attend a HOBY leadership seminar. Nominations are compiled and then one student is chosen to represent North Forsyth. Angela was chosen and is very deserving of this opportunity! She will be attending the Georgia Northwest Seminar which will take place June 5-6, 2021. We look forward to hearing about all the things she will learn and how she will continue to be a positive influence on our school community!
