My overall experience at Moanalua was really good. I thought all my teachers were very supportive and always there if you needed them for help or with anything. The staff and administration were always good as well. They support you and will help you if you need it. They are always walking around school to watch us if anything goes wrong. The academics are great; I feel they prepared me for college. There athletics are also great as well.
