The student of the month for August is senior Kelly Zakimi (pictured above). Kelly is senior class president, Central District Student Council Chair, Concert Orchestra President, drumline section leader, State History Day winner, and a host of other accomplishments that would take up the entire blog if listed. Unfortunately, there was no Teacher of the Month nominee, but we hope there will be one next month!
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.
