Cooper kennEy

Cooper Kenney is currently a sophomore at Century High School, and this is his first year as a Century Star writer. Kenney joined the Star as a way to strengthen his writing and experience what journalism has to offer. In his time with the Star, Kenney hopes to explore a wide variety of journalistic styles ranging from satirical stories, similar to articles by The Onion, to more serious straightforward fact-stating journalism. 

Outside of the classroom, Kenney enjoys many hobbies. “I play bass in a band called Jimmy and The Pickles, I row, and I read a lot. When I’m not trying to be productive, I enjoy playing video games online with my friends," Kenney said.

Kenney hopes to experience what journalism has to offer him and to determine if it would be a career he’d like to pursue. Journalism could be a good stepping stone to obtain his long-standing dream of following in his grandfather's footsteps and pursue a career in the legal field.
