A Step Above: Cody Heath Johnson
Silverado High School
Class of 2011
Anything but tepid, Silverado High School Student Body President Cody Johnson is jumping, not easing, into life with both feet and a big splash. He takes his obligations seriously, from summer jobs to leadership and volunteerism. His initiative is undeniable, but a more telling characteristic is that he’s not afraid to deviate from the “norm” if the alternative leads to a higher purpose and a more complete sense of self. Best of all, underneath Cody’s hard working surface is a friendly and kind-hearted individual that is most certainly – A Step Above.

Goals & Aspirations: “For now, my goal is to be a positive example for Silverado High School and set an impeccable tone for the student body while balancing my studies, work and my social life. For the future, I plan to attend Brigham Young University and begin my endless study of medicine in order to become a reconstructive surgeon.”
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? “In ten years, I will probably still be on my incessant endeavor to complete medical school to begin my career. More importantly, I see myself having a family, guiding my children to greatness and teaching them to be leaders for their own generation.”
Cause for Concern: “Without a doubt in my mind I would choose to be president of Invisible Children, an organization that focuses on long-term development of war-affected areas in Africa. Essentially, Invisible Children provides water and sanitation to those in need as well as improving education by building schools and providing scholarships for underprivileged children.”
