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.

Well, that was our "borrowed" theme for this year's SA Leadership Conference!  Seventy participants, including facilitators, came out on a Saturday to further their leadership skills!  Thanks to a dozen alums, all former officers, experience played a huge role in the success of the day.  Leaders from most MOHS organizations, and even guests from Kamehameha Middle were in attendance.  Thanks also go out to the advisors who spent the day with us!  We hope everyone learned a lot and will take with them some new skills and knowledge when school starts up again!
