Moanalua High School Student Association: 5/22-24: COMMENCEMENT 2020!

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.

5/22-24: COMMENCEMENT 2020!

Call it what you want: commencement, diploma distribution, graduation ceremony....because of the corona virus social distancing requirements, graduation was quite different this year! The ceremonies were split over three days, two shifts per day, meaning the class had to be broken up into six separate groups and honored in those smaller groups. Nevertheless, school administrators and staff tried to come up with the best possible alternative, given the restrictions. Obviously, this was not the ceremony seniors were expecting, but hopefully they know that each of them were equally loved and cared for as much as all previous classes that came before them.
