 Welcome to the John F. Kennedy High School College Center

 

MAKING GOLDEN COUGARS COLLEGE-BOUND

 

 The mission of the John F. Kennedy High School College Center is to encourage students in all grades to learn about college admissions and financial aid opportunities. We assist our students with the entire college admissions process, from college selection through understanding financial aid awards. Our goal is to ensure that all graduating seniors have an opportunity to obtain a college degree that will help them meet their life goals.

  

Staff:
