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.

4/27: MAY DAY CELEBRATION ONE OF THE BEST EVER!












The culminating activity for Ethnic Week is the annual May Day Celebration put on by the Polynesian Dance club and classes.  Kumu Claire Manutai always gets her students to put on a great show, and this year has to be the best so far.  But not only was it the culminating activity for Ethnic Week but in a way, the culminating activity for Kumu's dance classes as well, almost like their "final exam."  There are not many finals that students can claim where they must perform it in front of all their classmates as well as their parents (dress rehearsal the night before the assembly), and get INSTANT feedback!  To all performers....you passed!
