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.

7/22: PLANNER SPLIT DAY SIGNALS START OF THE NEW YEAR!

While the S.A. Leadership Conference in May is actually the first official event for the new officers, it is still close to the end of the current year which doesn't make it seem really "new."  Planner split day. the day where we divide the planners up by homerooms always comes the day before teachers arrive which truly makes us feel the reality of the NEW school year about to begin. Thanks to the entire group that showed up, and the fact that the library carpet was about to be shampooed, we were able to finish the splits in record time....20 minutes!  In addition, we were able to complete our theme banner and discuss and prepare for all the opening week events.  New school year, here we come!  Hope you all have a great new year, too!

Everyone feels the pressure to finish before the carpet shampooers arrive!

Splits are done at a record pace!  Maybe next year, well try to beat it!

Designing a banner is never easy!

But we got the job done!  "ILLUMINATE THE WORLD!"
