VERGENNES — Every year, each high school in the United States may choose at least one sophomore to represent them at their state’s Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership (HOBY) Seminar. This year, Vergennes Union High School’s HOBY Ambassadors are Sam Moriglioni and Zoe Reid-St. John. 

Moriglioni and Reid-St. John were nominated and selected for this honor based on their demonstrated and potential leadership skills and traits. The two will attend the HOBY Seminar on May 26-29. This year’s seminar will be held at Vermont Technical College (Randolph Campus). Ambassadors will participate in seminars and meet with leaders in the fields of education, government, and the professions to discuss present and future issues.
