Our student population is expected to stay the same during the next five years. In 2017-2018, Kennedy switched from a block-schedule of 4 periods per day to a FULL schedule of 7 periods each day, eliminating the block A/B days. 

Enrollment
Kennedy serves approximately 730 students, from multiple diverse backgrounds and ethnicity.

Kennedy students advance to Hunter and Kearns High Schools.


Computers and technology
Kennedy has a computer network system that is accessed by every classroom in the building. The Media center is a central lab that can be used by all students for research, with access to online information and many other library systems. The school has a series of labs throughout the building designed to enhance the curriculum and many classrooms have classroom sets of Chromebooks for student use.
