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.

8/5: HARRY POTTER WELCOMES A NEW YEAR

Wot?  Harry Potter?  (Say with a British accent).  That's right!  This year's Welcome Back Assembly featured a Harry Potter theme as he, Ron and Hermoine went on a quest to find the sorcerer's stone, hidden somewhere on campus.  Clubs, athletic teams, music department students, and officers all chipped in to help the trio find the stone that would lead them to success, and "defeated" the apathetic Lord Voldemort in the end by "killing" him with kindness.  Now that was better than anything you could have seen at the theater!  In addition, thanks to a summer President's Summit workshop, President Haley Pendergast also introduced three daily goals for the student body:  meet someone new, positively validate someone, and be thankful to others.  We think that will give students a great new attitude this school year.  Pictured above:  a Quidditch match commences, Ron plays a life sized chess match with help from the Chess Team, ethnic club members help the trio find the key to the trap door, and the crowd gets ready to sing the alma mater at the end.
