Message from the Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the end of another remarkable school year, I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for your support in our students' educational journey.
Seniors, the countdown to graduation has begun! Your dedication, resilience, and passion have brought you to this moment, and we are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments. Embrace the journey ahead with confidence, knowing that you are capable of achieving greatness as a member of the Fighting Irish.
Monday will be a day of recognition as we honor students who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and excellence in various aspects of their academic and extracurricular pursuits. To all those who will be receiving awards, congratulations on this well-deserved accomplishment! Your hard work has not gone unnoticed, and we commend you for your outstanding achievements.
With finals also approaching this week, I ask that you join us in empowering our students to give their best effort. Your guidance, patience, and belief in their abilities play a crucial role in motivating them to excel academically.
As we look forward to summer break, I want to emphasize the importance of safety and well-being. Whether you're traveling, practicing self-care, or spending quality time with loved ones, please prioritize your health and safety above all else. Let's make responsible choices and cherish the opportunity to rejuvenate and recharge.
Summer school will begin on Monday, June 3rd at 8:30 a.m. Please mark your calendars as this will be an important date for your students to attend.
Warm regards,
Dr. Sidhu, Principal, John F. Kennedy High School

Construction
Parking Lot
Kennedy High School began a two-phase Solar Panel Project in the South (Student) Parking Lot. A portion of the South Parking Lot will be closed for 6-8 months. Therefore, student parking will be limited.
It is recommended that students are dropped off at school or carpool with other students. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.
