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.

2013 POWDER-PUFF CHAMPIONS:  SENIORS, CLASS OF 2013!
Last year, the Class of 2013 as Juniors upset the Seniors in the Powder-puff Championship game.  This year, they went in as tournament favorites and did not disappoint.  In a close game, the Class of 2013, now Seniors, defeated the Sophomores, 6-0.  The seniors returned most of their star players from the 2012 championship team.  One of the more interesting games was the Sophomore-Junior preliminary.  The game ended in regulation, 0-0.  So, by rule, each team attempts a field goal until one team misses, similar to penalty kicks in soccer.  The ball is also moved back a few yards if both teams are successful.  The Juniors made 5 of 7 to score 15 points, but behind the leg of Jennifer Mead, the Sophomores made 6 of 7 to win by 3.  Congratulations to the Seniors, Class of 2013 RE-peat champions!
