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.

The annual SA Leadership Conference kicked off this coming school year with the theme:  "Unless Someone Cares..." borrowed from the animated movie "The Lorax."  We felt it was appropriate, however, because as student leaders, we need to care about out school and community, and try to get everyone else on board, too.  The conference included over 60 leaders from Moanalua High, Moanalua Middle and Kamehameha Middle Schools.  In addition, ten Moanalua alumni leaders came back to help facilitate the groups.  Thanks go out to all of them as well as the SA Officers and advisors who helped chaperone:  Mrs. Renae Villa (MMS), Mrs. Gail Vannatta (KMS), Mrs. Lachelle Sablan (MoHS c/o 2015) and Mr. Reid Tsumoto (MoHS c/o 2016).
