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.

5/22: ALOHA CLASS OF 2014!

Happy Seniors enter the field from the gym!

MC's Jessica Cabusog and Jamie Hwang welcome the crowd!

Anxious seniors get ready to receive their diplomas!

Open the flood gates and release the parents and friends!
A very special "aloha" to the mighty Class of 2014 as commencement exercises were held tonight!  Almost 500 seniors received their diplomas and said their good-byes on a special Thursday evening ceremony.  This was a class that went through a lot for this ceremony starting last year when it was decided that the field would not be available due to construction, and it was initially moved to Aloha Stadium, until just a few months ago when the construction was delayed, and graduation was moved BACK to Moanalua.  While there were some differing opinions on where it should have been held, most would probably agree that after the beautiful ceremony, that there is no place like our own field!  Many thanks to class advisor Chad Yoshizawa, the administration team and the faculty members who helped with all phases of the ceremony, but most of all, a special thank you to Ms. Shauna Tanaka-Hirota who coordinated the entire event!  Good luck and best wishes to all the seniors!
