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.

4/22: LAST EXECUTIVE MEETING; NO TEARS, LOTS OF CHEER!

Back Row (l-r):  Jennifer Mead, Mark Meno, Carmen Rodriguez,
Lei Lily Tam, Justin Honda, and Jocelyn Yip.  Front Row (l-r,
holding cakes):  Eunica Escalante and Devin Soogrim.  ALOHA
SENIORS! (l-r, holding collages):  Jamie Hwang, Selena Li Fung,
Marlene Loui, Jessel Lyn Dela Cruz, and Jannah Lyn Dela Cruz.

The final executive council meeting was held today.  While the meeting was business as usual, the end was quite unique, possibly the start of a tradition?  The outgoing seniors presented the underclassmen with some treats including an ice cream cake, while the underclassmen created individual photo collages with farewell notes on the back for them to take to college next fall.  On behalf of the entire school, thank you to all the seniors for their service and, at times, sacrifices to make activities happen for all students at Moanalua!
