Moanalua High School Student Association: 5/29: SA LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE BREAKS IN THE NEW PAC

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.

5/29: SA LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE BREAKS IN THE NEW PAC

The new Performing Arts Center (PAC) was dedicated back in March, and a few events were taped or not open to public audiences. The SA Leadership Conference was the first event to be held live with audience and guests. The theme, "Leaders, Assemble!" is a play on the Avengers who "assemble" to overcome threats to the world. And while we were not aiming to overcome such threats, were ARE aiming to overcome apathy in school and create a student leadership group that can develop activities for all to enjoy. We included guests from Moanalua and Aliamanu Middle Schools and they feed all or some of their students to Moanalua High School. Special thanks also go out to AMS Advisor, Ms. Beth Young, Class of 2022 Advisor Mr. Neilson Ishida, and our six alumni facilitators without whom our leadership program could not continue with quality: Taylor Katahira, Miah Emerson, Ashley Whang, Vivian Hui, Suzanne Tran, and Kayla Gurtiza, most of whom were in student council since the 3rd grade!
