The John F. Kennedy High School Alumni Association recently gifted the school a waterfall as part of the school courtyard beautification project.

“The new waterfall enhances what is becoming the centerpiece of our campus,” said Principal Gerard Owenburg.

Last year, the association assisted with a new paved patio and the construction of the Lorraine Poppe Pavilion, in honor of the late former principal.
