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.

4/5-6: S.A. PLANNING RETREAT IS A UNANIMOUS SUCCESS!

Taking a "temperature check" on a major issue:  "We can LIVE with it!"
The "NEWBIES" head out in Waikiki on a photo scavenger hunt...and lunch!
The "OLDIES" are well prepared with experience and an awesome camera!
THANK YOU to all officers for a successful planning retreat!
Each year, the present and incoming S.A. Executive Council get together to plan some of the major activities for the coming school year.  The idea is to get them to plan the themes and activities for events such as the Leadership Conferences, Welcome Back Assembly, and Homecoming and all the activities that go with them.  Using the Interactive Method (IM) meeting strategy, officers try to come to a consensus in all the final decisions made.  While we usually come close, we rarely have 100% agreement...until this year.  In all the major decisions, consensus was reached, so look forward to an exciting school year!  This year's planning retreat was held at the Doubletree Alana Waikiki Hotel.  Thank you to all participants for their hard work and spirit of cooperation and compromise!
