What happens when a strong principal, involved parents and motivated teachers come together?

Moanalua High School is a good example. The school has been selected as one of 15 model high schools for 2011 by the International Center for Leadership in Education, an educational advocacy and consulting company. The schools will share their best practices at the 19th annual Model Schools Conference this June in Nashville. The conference attracts thousands of educators and is widely considered the nation's leading education reform event.

It's not the first time Moanalua has grabbed the spotlight in recent years.
