PROCTORVILLE -- Fairland High School sophomores Jenna Hannon and Hannah Adkins (Tanner's Homecoming escort for Court) were named the HOBY ambassador and alternate by a committee of teachers and staff. The Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar is a program designed to further develop the leadership skills of students in the 10th grade.

At Fairland, ten students were nominated by teachers, and seven chose to apply for the HOBY ambassadorship. "Those seven were outstanding," guidance counselor Tim Flesher said. "I couldn't be prouder of them. They all took it seriously." The students were required to develop a resume emphasizing their leadership skills and activities that included school, church and community relationships. They also had to write an essay about why they wanted to be the HOBY ambassador.

A panel of three staff members selected Hannon as the ambassador and Adkins as the alternate. The other five finalists were Amanda Cooper, Robert Hinshaw, Lauren Lewis, Zach Rankin and Tanner Schenewark.
