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.

12/3: OFFICERS RECEIVE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY!

The annual SA Holiday Dinner took a slightly different twist this year.  For many years, it was held at buffet places sch as Todai, Makino Chaya, and Camellia.  This year, we went to Hughley's Southern Cuisine in Aiea for a nice sit-down dinner with all the traditional southern treats:  mac and cheese, mash and gravy, fried okra, grits, wings, catfish, ribs, brisket, sweet tea...it was all there!  Why the change?  SA Exec Councils have predominantly been made up of Asians and, well, going to an Asian style buffet almost seemed redundant.  So, this was something NEW!  Of course, it did help that Senior Class President Kylah Hughley's family happens to own the restaurant, but it was all about trying a new experience!  And, we were NOT disappointed!  Not only was the food good, but many of us also had to get take out boxes because of the huge portions!  Plus, we also had our traditional secret gift exchange which turned out to be a secret for some, while others posted hints....LITERAL hints on the whiteboard in the lounge.  In any case, everyone was happy with their gift, and we all had a great time!

Dinner was awesome!
