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.

7/25: PLANNER PREDICAMENT!

A surprise school project:  update all 2200 new student planners before issued!  Here's the story.  The deadline for sending "final" text to the planner company is in April for planners to arrive in mid to late July.  Over a month later, the DOE comes out with a new message that MUST be included in all school planners and other material given to students.  So, as the new planners arrived on campus, 2200 stickers with the new message had to be printed, cut, and placed over the old message.  One by one.  With the front office staff, library staff, and 26 student volunteers notified only the day before, the job was completed in about 2 1/2 hours, and we even managed to do the homeroom splits at the same time!

Peeling stickers is hard work!

Centering them juuust right is harder!

Did we mention the AC was down?

Planner split time!
