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.

10/14: YOOKOSO HIROSHIMA KOKUTAIJI!

Over 250 students and teachers/staff from Hiroshima Kokutaiji Senior High School visited Moanalua today.  Thanks to the hard work of the World Languages Department staff as well as the administrators and cafeteria staff, the visitors were treated to a day of fun activities and cultural exchange.  One of the highlights of this annual event is near the end when the Hiroshima students do a mass dance, then invite Moanalua students to join them and learn the steps.  Hiroshima students actually GIVE our students their Happi Coat costume and instruments as souvenirs.  Hopefully they had as much fun as we had hosting them!
