Moanalua High School Student Association: 10/20: 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.

10/20: HIROSHIMA KOKUTAIJI - 15TH ANNIVERSARY!

That's right! Our sister school relationship with Hiroshima Kokutaiji is in it's 15th year! In that time, Hiroshima has sent hundreds of students to visit Moanalua and recently, within the last 5 years, we have actually reciprocated, sending a handful of students each year. Each visit is filled with activities, games, tours, and chances to meet and converse with each other. It has been a genuine cultural exchange! We hope that all of our guests had a wonderful time in Hawaii and especially their visit to Moanalua!
