History

Opened in 1964, John F. Kennedy Catholic High School serves students grades 9-12.

John F. Kennedy Catholic High School was originally named Annunciation High School and was built as a replacement for the former St. Mary High School in 1964, it was renamed to John F. Kennedy High School prior to its opening by the diocese following the assassination of the 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

in 2007, JFK was expanded to a K-12 school district with the addition of the former Blessed Sacrament School. A junior high school program was added into the district, with the junior high and high school now occupying the current high school, which is named the Upper Campus, while grades K-5 occupy the former Blessed Sacrament School and is known as the Lower Campus.

Clubs and activities

From 2010 to 2014, each spring, the school put on a variety show encompassing aspects of both the performing arts and a visual art display. The show is called Kennedy Honors Excellence in the Arts and was modeled after the Kennedy Center Honors that take place annually in Washington DC. The event showcased the talents of students in the areas of visual, vocal, instrumental and acting performance. In addition, the show paid tribute to an individual who has greatly benefited performing arts at JFK. Since 2015, the variety show has been rebranded Fiddlesticks and become almost entirely student-run.

Kennedy has a tuition assistance program for students in Grades K–12. [3]
