Welcome Back from Kennedy HS PTA

The John F. Kennedy High School PTA is happy to welcome students, parents, faculty and staff back for a new school year.

On behalf of the Kennedy High School PTA, we would like to extend a warm welcome to our students, parents, faculty and staff. We hope everyone had a wonderful summer.

The PTA plays an active role in your student’s high school career. The PTA provides a place for parents and teachers to belong to a group that utilizes our collective power to achieve the goals of advocating for improving the health and welfare of our students. We hope to increase parent involvement and encourage positive parent/teacher relationships. Here at John F. Kennedy High School we have always enjoyed an equal partnership between parents, teachers and administrators through a shared decision-making process which has enabled us to strengthen our goal of achieving the best education for our children.

Through the continued support of our school administrators, teachers and support staff, we are able to provide various activities and school programs that benefit our students and our community. In addition, we provide each graduating senior with a gift as a memento of their high school experience. With your membership we also are able to present graduating seniors with scholarship awards (PTA membership required).
