Sophomores Chosen to Attend HOBY Leadership SeminarNovember 6, 2024 Western Wayne sophomores Donovan Gregorski and Isabella Kolp have been chosen to represent Western Wayne at the 2025 Central Pennsylvania HOBY Leadership Seminar this June 2025.
Donovan is an accomplished Western Wayne honor roll student who enjoys being a part of a variety of sports and clubs at school including: football, basketball, outdoor track, and FBLA.
In Donovan’s leadership essay for HOBY, he explained what leadership means to him by discussing how it relates to his life, and its overall importance in the world who benefits from it in so many ways.
“Leadership influences my life through its role in sports, work, and so many other things,” Donovan said. “Through using leadership skills in my life, I feel more determined to accomplish my goals.”
After high school, Donovan aspires to study sports analytics in college to work as a sports statistician in the future.
“I have a strong love for both sports and math, and I really want to pursue a career path that will let me combine these interests,” he explained.
Donovan’s classmate Isabella Kolp, a sophomore honor roll student, also, is a HOBY winner for Western Wayne and shares a similar view on leadership as Donovan.
“I think it is important for the world to have good leadership,” Isabella explained. “This is necessary for things to run well.”
Isabella participates in the following activities: tennis team, Cats Club, FBLA, and student council.
After high school, Isabella plans to major in international business. She loves to travel with her family and has gone on a variety of trips abroad during her high school years so far to places such as France, Japan, and Spain with Japan being her favorite experience at present.
“I really like learning about different cultures and want my future career path to include a way to foster my passion for travel,” she explained.
Both students look forward to attending the conference in the spring and meeting other student leaders from various districts.
The Western Wayne School District wishes them both much success at the conference and in their very bright futures.

First, the students gave a performance to elementary students in the district at the R.D.

They also included in their day a performance for the Western Wayne Middle School and Evergreen Elementary School as well.
The band students were thrilled to be able to perform for these very special audiences. All of the students and nursing home residents who got to see the performances felt a lot of Halloween spirit.
“I am so grateful to be able to go out and perform in the community,” junior Kayelin Martin, color guard captain said. “It adds another layer to our performances, and we get to have such fun experiences with new audiences.”
Fellow senior color guard student Rebekah Palko agreed.
“It was so wonderful to be able to go out into the community for our Halloween performances,” Rebekah said. “I really enjoy performing for various audiences.”
