HYLA High School Program

 The HYLA High School Program is based on building college readiness, appreciation of community assets, and developing leadership potential.  This program is a traditional leadership program in that it targets eleventh grade students from all Hancock County schools (as well as their home-schooled equivalents) who aspire to sharpen already developed leadership skills and to embed those skills in civic commitment. The successful applicant will be the student who is able to: 
1) balance academics and multiple activities while prioritizing this program;
2) plan and complete both individual and group projects;
3) be open-minded, have a positive attitude, and the capacity to enhance leadership skills; and
4) demonstrate a commitment to our community. 

The program consists of an orientation,  focused leadership training sessions,  and graduation.  Focused sessions include such topics as:  How to Affect Change; Civic Engagement; Career Planning and Budgeting; Economic Development and Entrepreneurship; College Planning (overnight "college cruise"); Community Assets; Diversity, Safety, and Wellness on Campus. The cost of the program is $250; applicants may request scholarships through the school that they attend.

The High School program runs from January through December each year; this year's application process begins October 1, 2024 and applications are due October 25 at 4:00pm.  Click below for the High School application packet and information.
