HOBY Leadership Seminar Representatives – Maha Tanveer & Abigail Washine

Maha Tanveer and Abigail Washine were Western Wayne High School’s HOBY representatives for the 2026-27 school year.  They recently attended the HOBY Leadership Seminar at Millersville University. 

PA HOBY Leadership provides a 4-day seminar for high school sophomores. Each school in PA is invited to select one student who demonstrates outstanding leadership skill and potential to serve as their school’s ambassador. During the seminar, students participate in panel discussions featuring speakers who are leaders in the fields of government, education, media, and social issues. They spend “a day in the life of a state representative” debating bills on the house floor at the PA Capitol. They spend a half day learning about small and large businesses in PA, then serve for the afternoon at various volunteer sites. Throughout this weekend are many cheers, a dance, a talent show, new friendships, many challenges, and a life-changing experience.

At HOBY, leadership development programs ensure that students gain awareness of themselves and others, practice and apply newly learned skills, and leave feeling empowered to make a positive impact on the world around them. With authenticity, connection, and growth at the core of the  programming, student ambassadors learn what it means to be an aware and engaged community member.
