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: SPRING FOOD DRIVE SETS A NEW RECORD!

Students bring donations by the arm full!
And, they bring them by the CART full!
Vienna sausage and ramen rules!
Maybe it was the plea at the Spring Pep Rally, maybe it was the foodbank commercials on television, but whatever it was, students at Moanalua gave in abundance to the Spring Foodbank Food Drive!  While the most recent record for giving stood at just over 7000 items, this drive collected over 12,000 items!  The most popular item given seemed to be Vienna sausages and ramen, but there was a wide variety of everything else, as well as cash and check donations.  The competition results are as follows:
