• Welcome to John F. Kennedy High School!

    Dr. Ari Hayes

    Dear John F. Kennedy Community,

    I am thrilled and honored to introduce myself as the new head principal of John F. Kennedy High School, home of the Fighting Eagles. With a profound sense of responsibility and enthusiasm, I step into this role, eager to work alongside our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and most importantly, our ambitious scholars.

    At John F. Kennedy, we take inspiration from our mascot, the eagle. Eagles are known for their ability to soar to great heights, symbolizing vision, strength, and resilience. Just as eagles use their keen sight and strong wings to rise above challenges, we too are committed to elevating our academic standards and fostering a school culture that supports every scholar in reaching their highest potential.

    Our goals are clear: to create an environment where academic excellence is the norm, and where every scholar feels valued, supported, and motivated to achieve their best. We will focus on innovative teaching strategies, comprehensive support systems, and an inclusive community that celebrates diversity and promotes positive change.

    I am committed to open communication and collaboration with all members of our school community. Together, we will set ambitious goals, support one another, and celebrate our achievements. I encourage you to share your ideas, hopes, and concerns as we embark on this exciting journey together.

    Thank you for welcoming me into the John F. Kennedy family. I look forward to working with each of you to make our school a place where Eagles not only fly but thrive.

    With enthusiasm and dedication,

    Dr. Ari Hayes
    Principal
