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.

11/13: REAL TALENT!

This year's Mene Stars Talent Competition was probably one of the most difficult to judge.  Each act was spectacular in its own way, and unfortunately, there were only two places.  Any of the eight acts could have placed!  Ultimately, the judges had to make a decision and in the end, the rap-beatbox duo of Jan Collado Lebron and Noah Maldonado took second, while Sophomore Kennedy Manamtam took the grand prize!  Thank you to advisor Mr. Duane Suyama and the Talent Show Committee for their hard work setting up the show.  Congratulations to all of the participants and to the underclassman performers, hope to see you again next year!
