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.

Spirit Week was created five years ago to have an activity that boosts everyone's spirit during a traditionally "slow" period, the end of February.  This is long after the excitement of Homecoming has died, Winter Fantasy is over, the holidays are done, and just before prom season and of course, the end of the school year.  The week is filled with dress-up days, noon hour games, and the Powder-puff Tournament.  Except for the powder-puff games and a couple of dress-up days, the rest of the activities were apathetic at best in terms of participation.  Since no suggestions for a theme were given, the officers had to think up one themselves.  If this activity is to be continued, student input is needed!
