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.

7/9-11: OH, THE PLACES WE WENT....SLC 2014!

The Student Leadership Conference (SLC) 2014 borrowed a theme from Dr. Seuss:  "Oh, The Places You'll Go!  And yes, at this year's SLC, we really went places!  Not so much physical places as the entire conference was contained on the UH-Manoa campus, including the dorms, but to new places for leadership skills, personal skills and hopefully long lasting friendships.  About 280 students from public and private schools, middle and high schools and Oahu and neighbor island schools attended the three day event coordinated by State Education Specialist Tiffany Frias and an elite group of facilitators.  Thank you to them all as well as the SAC chaperones who also appeared to have some fun, too!
