Book Lists

SUMMER READING LIST

All students attending Kennedy must read one book (and for some courses, two books) before the school year starts.  Our intent is to encourage students to become life-long readers and learners outside the academic classroom environment. We hope to promote critical and independent thinking as well as consideration of diversity of viewpoints. Please keep in mind that some books may contain language or content that some parents may not be comfortable with.  We make every effort to choose books that illustrate the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching and also relate to many disciplines and topics; however, we encourage parents and students to read the books together and discuss them during and after reading. 

The assessment of this book will occur within the first two weeks of school in your English class and may take the form of a quiz, project, discussion, or literature circles.

Please purchase ONLY the listed ISBN.

Kennedy Catholic High School Saint Teresa Summer Reading 2022-2023

All students are encouraged to read books of their own choosing over the summer. All students attending Kennedy Catholic MUST READ ONE BOOK before the school year starts. It is good to keep a reading journal and to write down any questions you might have as you read. An assessment of this book will occur within the first two weeks of school in your English class.

Please keep in mind that some books may contain language or content that some parents may not be comfortable with. We make every effort to choose books that illustrate the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching and also relate to many disciplines and topics; however, we encourage parents and students to read the books together and discuss them during and after reading. Students are also encouraged to form informal book clubs to read and discuss the books with their classmates.
