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.

3/14-15: OSCAR SLEEPOVER GETS THE JOB DONE!

Well, most of us got the job done, anyway.  Our annual sleepover is a chance for officers to complete their OSCAR (Outstanding Student Council Award Recognition) scrapbook pages.  On average, everyone had eleven pages to complete and hopefully got started earlier; otherwise they would need to complete all eleven in twelve hours.  By the end of the sleepover, about 80% of the book is completed with only the pages for remaining events left.  In addition, we try to wait until the very end in case there are more newsworthy Moanalua events happening in the media.  Yes, there was some sleeping mixed in with a few movies and of course, food!
