Moanalua High School Student Association: 10/14: WELCOME HIROSHIMA KOKUTAIJI!

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.

10/14: WELCOME HIROSHIMA KOKUTAIJI!

We welcomed our sister school, Hiroshima Kokutaiji, on its annual visit to Hawaii. This year, over 240 students came to learn more about Hawaii and American school culture as well as have a chance to learn activities and converse with Moanalua students. In the end, it was a mutual learning activity, and everyone had a great time just being with each other! Thank you to Sensei Jaime Tateyama and the entire World Language Department for hosting this huge event! Here are some scenes from the day!
