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.

3/7: A NIGHT AT THE OSCARS...ALLLL NIGHT!

Haley and Alyssa search the internet for graphics, coincidentally under past OSCAR plaques.
Erica and Dani think hard about what they want their pages to look like!
Everyone gets together to brainstorm ideas!
Yes, it's time for the annual Outstanding Student Council Award Recognition (O.S.C.A.R.) sleepover night!  This is the night, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., where officers get together to create their O.S.C.A.R. scrapbook pages together.  About 80% of the book is completed on this night; the rest obviously not occurring yet.  But it's not all work as we watch DVDs or TV shows, eat (of course), and generally strengthen our bonds.  Eventually, a few end up actually sleeping, but always after the work is done.
