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.

4/28-5/1: ETHNIC WEEK FEATURES CULTURAL TALENT!

This year's Ethnic Week features talented students displaying arts and dances of various cultures including Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Polynesian.  Throughout the week, lunch hour activities included fan making, Filipino tinikling dancing (bamboo poles), Japanese sing-a-longs, Korean songs and videos, and topped of with a May Day Program to be featured in a separate entry.  This is a chance for various cultures to share their activities with the rest of the student body.  Next year, we hope to have even more variety!
