Cadence Hennesy
Johnson County CEO
Class of 2026
Hello, my name is Cadence Hennesy. I’m a senior at Vienna High School. My Favorite activities are reading, making art, and advocating for the environment. I participate in Beta Club, Speech, 4H, and I plan to join the garden club this year. I’ve also completed macroeconomics and business computer systems. My top skills and strengths include being punctual, as time is crucial; I’m a creative problem solver, and I'm very determined. My short-term goals are to become more open to conversation and overall be less shy to ask questions. Long term, after high school, I want to continue my studies at a university to graduate with a bachelor's in business administration and management, and to later own a successful business. My interest in business is environmentally derived, as I am a vegetarian and I believe in leaving the planet a better place for generations to come. I want to make people more aware of the importance of their actions and the impact they have. My dream is to make a change in the world for the better, even if it’s just one person. There's a quote by Gemma Troy that I live by, “Remember your words can plant gardens or burn the whole forest down”. I believe that one human can make a vital difference in the world. I have little experience with business as I’ve only job-shadowed a screen printing company. I would like to learn to communicate better, learn how businesses are started, and how to figure out the cost of starting my own. I encourage you all to go out with a goal in mind and fix that problem throughout your community.
