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.

U-Building, the star attraction!

Honored guests untie the ceremonial maile lei (l-r):  Kahu Sherman Thompson, Senator Glenn Wakai, Representative Aaron Johanson, Music Director Mr. Elden Seta, Principal Mrs. Robin Martin, Senator Donna Mercado Kim, Representative Linda Ichiyama, former Central District Complex Area Superintendent (CAS) Dr. Teri Ushijima, and acting current CAS Mr. John Erickson.
It was not really a SA sponsored event, but it is also not every day that a brand new building is dedicated on campus.  U-Building, also known as "the bandroom," was dedicated this morning in a small but formal ceremony featuring the string ensemble and honored guests from the complex, district and state.  Guests enjoyed the performance, a tour of the new building, and light refreshments.  Congratulations to Mr. Seta, Ms. Barbosa, Mr. Kubota, and Mr. Takesue on the completion of their new facility.  We know it will be well used and appreciated by all music students.
