Parents & Students Review

 “Our son went to public elementary and middle school, and we made the decision for him to go to Kennedy Catholic because we wanted a positive environment where we thought he could be successful with both academics and athletics. Kennedy offers academic rigor for students at all levels, excellent sports program and a student population that truly embodies the "Lancer Spirit". This has been an extremely positive experience for our son, and for our family in general.”  

 

“My experience at Kennedy Catholic High School included numerous positive moments and friendships. The classes offer excellent distribution of material for the students. The curriculum teaches every student respectively and responsively in handling the course of their work ethics and overall educational practices. I participated on the cross country team as a sophomore until my senior year. Kennedy has many other sports activities including football, baseball, lacrosse, and soccer. The clubs include business, robotics, cooking, community service, and culture. Before college, the counselors make sure the incoming students become prepared with certain instructions to take with them for entering universities…”

 

“…  The teachers are very nice, funny, and always open to help after and before class. The assignments for English classes are fun and I actually enjoyed them despite disliking English for so long.  Currently attending Kennedy Catholic High School, really impacts every student. From feeling involved to getting help needed by your teachers, Kennedy really tries to improve and give you the best education. Not only giving you the education but many more skills including leadership and many more.”
