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.

3/25: RETREAT?


The sign of the times!  The coronavirus or COVID-19 has affected all of our lives, literally shutting down society and bringing the economy to its feet.  For us, it meant cancelling or postponing many activities including assemblies, meetings, and yes, our annual planning retreat at the Pagoda Hotel which was supposed to happen tonight and tomorrow.  Tonight is fun night where we head to Ala Moana for dinner and shopping, and making a pit stop at Don Quijote for snacks on the way back to the hotel.  Tomorrow is all work except for the breakfast buffet, lunch and a scavenger hunt! 

Well, the retreat is only POSTPONED, as this is an event we must do.  Hopefully, it can be rescheduled before the end of the school year!  For now, everyone is being asked to remain at home, going out only for essential activities like grocery shopping and exercising.  Hopefully, the virus will pass soon, and we can all get back to school again!  Once we know exactly when we can return, a list of changes will be posted here.  For now, everything already listed is on hold, at least until April 30.

Please take care of yourselves!
