Message from the Counselors
- To graduate, seniors are required to complete a financial aid application or opt-out form. FAFSA /Dream Act (financial aid application) priority submission for state financial aid programs is due by April 2, 2024. Students planning to participate in the AUHSD Pledge partnership with Cypress Community College or Fullerton Community College must have a FAFSA or DreamAct on file (regardless of family income). After submitting your FAFSA/DreamAct application, be sure to open up a Webgrants 4 Students account to determine your CalGrant award (again, your CalGrant GPA has been submitted by Kennedy).

- To opt out, email Mrs. Taylor at taylor_k@auhsd.us
Kennedy Open House
Hello Irish Community!
We cordially invite you to our Open House Showcase here at John F. Kennedy High School. Come and check out the diverse amount of activities and programming we have for students here. Enjoy delicious food, visit some booths, and experience why we are called the Fighting Irish! You are also able to meet teachers directly and see how your student navigates their way through our campus.
We will be open from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. See you there!

Construction
Parking Lot
Kennedy High School began a two-phase Solar Panel Project in the South (Student) Parking Lot. A portion of the South Parking Lot will be closed for 6-8 months. Therefore, student parking will be limited.
It is recommended that students are dropped off at school or carpool with other students. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.
