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.

 The annual Student Leadership Conference (SLC) was a great way to kick off the new school year for student government leaders!  This year's conference was held at various sites such as Kalani High School, St. Louis School, and the Japanese Cultural Center.  The sleepover rooms were at newly renovated Hale Lehua at the University of Hawaii. This year's theme was "The Elements" with each group taking on a different element such as "Neon," and relating it to a leadership quality.  Leaders also learned new games, ice breakers/cheers, and a host of other skills needed to run their student government programs.  It was a fun event thanks to all the facilitators, many of whom were graduates, and especially to Ms. Tiffany Frias, our new State coordinator.
