Extracurricular programs:
Kennedy participates in inter-school sports in Volleyball, Basketball, Cross Country, Wrestling, Track and Soccer. Kennedy has a strong intramural program in sports. Students can participate in chorus, band, orchestra, drama, and dance as part of their regular class schedule.
School background
Kennedy was opened in the fall of 1969, celebrating the 50 year anniversary in 2019. Students who live beyond two miles from the school are provided school bus transportation.
Enrollment
Kennedy serves approximately 750 students, from multiple diverse backgrounds and ethnicity.
Student promotion
Kennedy students advance to Hunter High School, Granger High School and Kearns High School.
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. We are a 1:1 Technology school so each student receives a Chromebook to use. Each teacher is provided with a Surface Pro to be used in the classroom. Each classroom has a mounted projector, screen and dual microphones, one for the teacher and one that is available for student use.
Safety
Teachers escort students outside during fire drills and remain with their classes. An evacuation that involves leaving the building, will result in a gathering at the LDS church located just north of the Kennedy Jr. High. Parents will pick up students from that location ONLY when instructed to do so. Communication is done through phone calls, email, text, and Instagram.
