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.

3/26-27: IT'S OSCAR TIME!

So how did YOU spend your Kuhio Day holiday?  Our entire crew of 13 officers as well as 4 incoming officers spent the evening and next morning working on OSCAR pages!  OSCAR is the acronym for Outstanding Student Council Award Recognition.  It is basically a scrapbook of the entire year of student council and general school activities.  Each officer was responsible for 12-13 pages each, and each page takes on average about 20-25 minutes to complete.  More than half stayed up the entire 12 hours.  In the end, ALL pages up until March 26 were completed.  Thank you to current officers:  Devin Soogrim, Eunica Escalante, Rachelle Yang, Jeongbin Won, Brooke Chinen, Crystal Fujiwara, Jocelyn Yip, Alyssa Kim, Lily Tam, Jennifer Mead, Alisha McDevitt, Edra Ha, and Kylah Hughley.  Thanks also to incoming officers Jessica Luong, Mark Meno, Kiara Vicens, and Victoria Kaahaaina.

Some like to work in a large group!

Some prefer solitude!
 
But ALL enjoyed refreshments!
