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.

8/7: THE "MENE" WIZARDS OF OZ!

Yes, Moanalua has MANY "wizards" available to help you be successful in school!  Administrators, counselors, teachers, and other support staff are always available to help students find their way!  Today's Welcome Back Assembly played off the Wizard of Oz story.  In our version, Dorothy is hesitant about going to high school for the first time, but through a dream journey to the Sapphire City (because sapphires are BLUE of course) on the blue brick road, she encounters others with problems, and they all go to see the wizard.  Instead of just giving them their wishes, the wise wizard helps them find their own way to success!  Sounds like school staff, huh?  Thank you to the 80+ participants and the cheerleaders and color guard for putting on a great show for all!
 
Teachers and students happy to be back!

Cheerleaders do their thing!

The "Wizard" shows the tin man, scarecrow, Dorothy, and the lion the way to success!

Oh, we're HAPPY...

Pharrell, we're HAPPY, too!
