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.

3/29-30: RETREAT REVIEW!

Another officer planning retreat has come and gone and once again, very successful!  We even ended a little early which allowed us to have some extra discussion on other issues normally not done at this event.!  Everyone did a great job of discussing points, supporting ideas, and eventually compromising when needed to make sure it was a group decision.  Thanks to everyone, we have ideas for the major events such as Leadership Conference, Welcome Back Assembly, and Homecoming to kick off the school year!  In addition to the business end, we also made trips to Ala Moana Shopping Center, a side trip to Don Quijote, and some overnight bonding time at the Pagoda Hotel.  Special thanks to Ms. Travers for helping chaperone. We have an exciting year planned....more to come soon!

A major freeway accident caused our
bus to be late, so we started off on
campus with some introductory games!
