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.

4/25: MAY DAY A SPECTACULAR SHOWCASE OF POLYNESIAN CULTURE!














They did it again!  Every year, the Polynesian Dance Club and Hawaiian Language classes put together a spectacular show for the student body under the direction of Kumu Claire Manutai.  This year's show featured authentic dance numbers from various Polynesian cultures including Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, Maori, and Tahitian, but there was also some "high-tech" involved.  The chanters and dancers also made use of remote microphones so that the audience could clearly hear everything being said.  It was a great new feature to an already outstanding show.  THANK YOU to all the performers and especially Kumu Manutai for entertaining and educating all of us every year!
