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.

4/30: CDSC COMES TO AN END!

Present CDSC Representatives extinguish their flames, symbolizing the end of CDSC.

Posting district news on this blog is not something normally done, however, in this case, it is an important mark in history.  The Central District Student Council (CDSC) will cease to exist starting next school year.  The Central District is made up of six schools:  Aiea, Leilehua, Mililani, Radford, Waialua and of course, Moanalua.  On this year's CDSC, Moanalua representative Kelly Zakimi was also the chair, while both Hawaii State Student Council (HSSC) members from central were also from Moanalua.  While district council may be missed, it is hoped that the newly restructured HSSC, now Hawaii State Student CONGRESS, will serve district students in the same capacity as each school is now required to send one representative to congress.  Representation will now be spread fairly across the state.  Thank you to all present CDSC Representatives for your hard work and dedication this year and best wishes for all your futures!
