Freshman Orientation is typically that....mostly freshmen. But this year, we also welcomed almost 40 students from grades 10-12 as well. In fact, they took up almost half a section of bleachers! The morning was filled with informational meetings with homeroom teachers, followed by an assembly in the gym hosted by the SA Executive Council. At the assembly, students were treated to an ice breaker and a traditional skit warning them about the 10 things to avoid if you want to "fit in." The orientation culminated with a campus tour, fee payment, and of course, picture taking for the yearbook and student ID. We hope that everyone who attended received some valuable information!
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.
