Senior Spotlight: Jimmy Kennedy

Jimmy Kennedy, a future student at Creighton University, has big plans for the future. He is one of the many students who has been a part of the Catholic schools community for his entire life. Creighton University, which is in Omaha, Nebraska, will be quite a big change for him. Jimmy plans to double major in accounting and business analytics and information systems (BAI). With these majors, he hopes to be an auditor and one day own a successful accounting firm. 

Jimmy has been a part of the tennis team for all four years of high school. He explained that the team from junior year was his favorite memory at Hackett. He enjoyed himself and enjoyed playing with his best friends during this particular season. This memory alone was the highlight of Hackett for all four of his years. He will however, miss the friends he has made along the way and everyone he has practically grown up with.

Jimmy is excited for the new opportunities that Creighton University will hold for him. He is excited for the freedom and independence that college brings, and is also looking forward to the opportunity to grow as an individual. As we know, college brings a lot of new experiences and new friends. 

Jimmy shared that he has a big goal in mind. The goal he has set is to try all the steakhouses in Omaha with his dad. This challenge was made between the two of them to complete before Jimmy graduates, due to the large number of famous steakhouses in Omaha. This is just one of the many things Jimmy is looking forward to during his time in Nebraska. He hopes to join club teams like tennis and even baseball. While it is going to be a big change, Jimmy is looking forward to this new opportunity. 

The Hackett community is excited to see him grow into a successful individual. Best of luck and congratulations Jimmy!
