VERGENNES — Every year, each high school in the United States may choose one sophomore to represent them at their state’s Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership (HOBY) Conference. This year, Vergennes Union High School’s HOBY Ambassador is Cyrus Devine.
Devine was nominated and selected for this honor based on his demonstrated and potential leadership skills and traits. Devine will attend the HOBY Conference on May 25-28, at Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vt., where he will participate in seminars and meet with leaders in the fields of education, government and the professions to discuss present and future issues. Devine is the son of Vernon and Hillary Devine of North Ferrisburgh.
