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.

For their annual visit to Moanalua, Hiroshima Kokutaiji brought almost 250 students, teachers, and administrators for a day of fun activities and cultural exchanges.  Kokutaiji students taught Moanalua students a dance, while Moanalua students returned the favors with dances of their own as well as games and songs.  Gifts were exchanged between schools as well as alma mater performances from both.  Everyone seemed to have fun and hopefully, the Japanese students will return to Japan with good memories from their visit!
