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.

9/4: TSUNAHIKI TEAM BATTLES THE ODDS!

Well, every other school had 14-16 team members, but Moanalua's fearless 8 battled the competition anyway at the first annual Tsunahiki (Tug-of-War) Competition at the Okinawan Festival.  Though shorthanded, we fought hard against Pearl City and then Leilehua and even though we lost, we had a lot of fun.  Pictured above are some candids.  Thank you to team members Selena Li Fung (captain), Nikki Dutro, Ashley Fukuchi, VictoriaLynn Kano, Chloe Kobayashi, Dominic DeBernardis, Najae Reed, and Kim Fujiwara.
