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.

This year's annual summer Student Leadership Workshop was unusual in many ways.  First, it is now the Student Leadership CONFERENCE or SLC.  Next, the site chaged because of construction on the UH-Manoa campus, so much of the conference was held at Kaimuki High School.  Finally, this was the FINAL SLC as well as the final event for Susan Sato, the State Specialist for Student Activities.  She has done a great job during her tenure, and we will definitely miss her!  As for SLC, despite all the changes, it ran smoothly, and we learned a LOT.  We look forward to taking back new ideas to improve our own student council and activities on campus!
