Kennedy Donley is a senior who has attended CSD since kindergarten. She is a “lifer.” This is Kennedy’s first year taking Journalism and she is looking forward to being involved with capturing happenings around her school and community. She is excited to be involved by being a visual media and public relations editor and student life editor. She also plans to write about sports that are currently in season and how athletes deal with school while playing a school sport.

In her spare time Kennedy spends a lot of time at volleyball practice where she is right side varsity volleyball hitter. She  has played volleyball for all four years of her high school career.

If she’s not at volleyball, Kennedy is hanging out with her friends and family or watching a movie.
