1.... 2.... 3... LEADERS UNITE!!! The annual Highlands Leadership Conference 2018 featured all 8 Pearl City elementary schools this year: Momilani, Waiau, PCHES, PCES, Manana, Kanoelani, Palisades, and Lehua. All Pearl City Student Councils united and arrived at the HIS StuCo Room on Friday 1/19/18 to have a day full of learning, fun activities, and memories they’ll never, ever forget! The purpose of HLC2018 is to teach all the Pearl City Complex Student Councils the meaning of being a leader, to understand their overall role of being a student council leader, and how we can all have fun while learning! With this conference they all got a ton of incredible ideas for activities, created their StuCo Vision & Mission statements and how they could all achieve a balanced student activities program via the National Student Council Pillars of Voice-Engagement-Leadership-Service. A side benefit was building a stronger relationship between all the Pearl City Complex Student Councils -- this helps with our goal to provide awesome activities to make school a fun and safe place to learn in the Pearl City Complex. For this event some of our very own Highlands Student Council members facilitated all the energizers, challenges, and the lessons. We also tried to make sure that everyone felt safe and welcomed all day long ;) We ended the conference with a challenge to all: about giving 100% in everything we do so that the legacy we leave behind will stand the test of time.... After that final lesson, we said our goodbyes to the elementary school students and advisors, and thanked them for coming. This was such a fun event to be apart of... Everyone learned so much and didn't want it to end! We can't wait for what'll be in store for Highlands Leadership Conference 2019 ;) Skyla, SG Vice-President
