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: WE ALL SCREAM FOR LEADERSHIP!

Just the beginning!

Giving it some serious thought!

Taking an all important vote!

Ready to hit Kalakaua Avenue looking "touristy!"

A great job was done by all!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!  Well, it's a play on words, but that is just a hint of what our Leadership Conference will be!  That and other major activities such as the Welcome Back Assembly and Homecoming were all discussed this weekend at our annual Leadership Retreat, held this year at the Pacific Beach Hotel.  A total of 26 present and incoming officers and advisors met to discuss and plan the major events for the coming school year, and it was apparent that everyone was enthusiastic and excited about them and really cannot wait for the school year to start!  Much thanks to the Pacific Beach Hotel staff, the class advisors who gave up an evening with their families and to all the parents of officers who made the trek to Waikiki for pick-ups.  And of course, thank you to all the officers who really showed the spirit of cooperation and compromise in making final big decisions.  It was a lesson many adults could learn!
