Programs
Academies
Our Academies provide an opportunity for students to complete course work related to career themes in preparation for future education and career paths. Students also complete a pathway of recommended courses and culminate with a “capstone” experience. Capstone experiences allow students to apply their academic education to authentic, real-world projects and further develop leadership and teamwork skills. Professional staff will mentor students as they demonstrate their applied learning and skills.
Advanced Placement
The Advanced Placement (AP) program at John F. Kennedy High School is designed to challenge students. A wide array of courses is offered which require students to participate in a more rigorous curriculum and experience a greater level of academic discipline. The AP program allows students to take college-level courses and exams, and to earn college credit or placement while still in high school.
