LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT ABOUT REWARDS; IT'S DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES YOU!

2022 MOANALUA HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (above) The Moanalua High School Executive Council is made up of fifteen volunteers. VOLUNTEERS! While officers are elected, they choose to run knowing that if they win, there is no physical reward, no letter grade, no incentive other than the pure satisfaction of doing a good job and representing the student body. At times, we achieve great success while at other times, we achieve somewhat less, but it is always a learning process. While we can take away much satisfaction from doing a good job, we can also learn from mistakes and try to better ourselves the next time. And so, at the end of our terms, while we do not earn a credit, a letter grade or even a certificate of achievement proving our accomplishments, we can take away the self-satisfaction in knowing that we did our best for the students, school and community, and that positive experience is something we can really use as contributing adult members of society.

7/14-16: NEW IDEAS BLOSSOM AT SLW

The annual Student Leadership Workshop (SLW) held at UH-Manoa each summer provides an opportunity for leaders to network with other leaders from around the state.  In addition, they learn new games, ice breakers, and strategies to improve themselves and their school activities programs.  This year also offered a new "Presidents' Summit" where the presidents from most of the schools got together to consider common goals for the coming year.  Everyone had lots of fun meeting new people, checking out each others' OSCAR scrapbooks, and writing magic notes to each other.  But the best thing of all had to be......dorm food!!!  MANY Thanks to Ms. Susan Sato, State Student Activities Advisor, and the SLW Staff for putting on yet another great SLW!  Pictured top to bottom:  Opening presentation by "Risque Business," and acting troupe from Mississippi who touched on topics like teen pregnancy, alcoholism, and drug abuse; Mini Olympic games; receiving the OSCAR plaque, and one final get together before boarding the bus!
