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.

12/6: WINTER RALLY SURPRISES!

Principal Martin breaks the VP news to the crowd!

Jessel gets ready to answer a trivia question for the seniors!
The winter pep rally began captains of all the athletic teams in season addressing the crowd and encouraging everyone to come out and support them.  Good luck to all winter sports teams!  Principal Martin then reported to a surprised crowd that vice principal Dawn Amano-Ige is leaving for Kanoelani Elementary School after two years (today is her last day) as well as long time teacher, SAC, counselor, and vice principal Julia Toyama.  Both will be missed, but especially Mrs. Toyama who has been at Moanalua for many years.  Good luck and best wishes to both!  Also recognized at the assembly were this semester's First Hawaiian Bank "Yes, You Can!" award winners:  Jessy Shiroma (12), Jackie Agena (11), Gina Watanabe (10), and Ainsley Soogrim (9).  Congratulations to all!  Finally, a class sports trivia competition saw the Junior class take first place.  Good job, Juniors!
