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.

3/13: SLEEPOVER SECURES AT LEAST 90% OF OSCAR!

Pagemaking is well under way!
Our annual OSCAR Sleepover takes place on the last day of exams and runs until 7:00 a.m. the next morning.  At the sleepover, officers can concentrate on completing their share of OSCAR (Outstanding Student Council Award Recognition) pages, usually about 12-13 each.  At the same time, we share snacks, movies, music, and sleeping areas.  It's a nice way to bond, especially since incoming officers also attend and are mentored by the present officers.  OSCAR was once a competition between student councils from around the state, but it is now a participation event.  Still, we value the scrapbook because it is an important resource for future executive councils when they start planning for the year.
