The Kennedy Catholic Parent Club would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to the parent and student volunteers, executive board members, general board members, and KCHS staff for your incredible dedication and support. From planning and organizing memorable events, to staffing the Knight Stand, you showed up for our community and logged thousands of volunteer hours! 

Calling all club leaders for the 2025-2026 school year. Join Ms. McNulty for a fun and interactive Club Leadership Workshop on Thursday, August 14 from 8am to 3pm in the KCHS Gym. You’ll get helpful tips on how to run engaging meetings, plan exciting events, and make your club the place to be this year. It’s a great way to kick off the year with fresh ideas and connect with other student leaders. Attendance is HIGHLY encouraged, and lunch will be provided. Please email Ms. McNulty if you have any questions. 

As the school year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of our student-athletes, coaches, families, fans, faculty, and staff—for your unwavering support and dedication throughout the year.

We’re proud to share that Lancers Against Cancer raised an incredible $13,000 for the American Cancer Society! This amazing effort would not have been possible without the leadership of Ms. Walker and the dedication of our students, who worked hard to support this important cause.

Thank you to everyone who donated, participated, and helped make a difference.

At Washington Business Week, high school students take on executive roles, lead real-world business simulations, and pitch to investors—all in just one high-energy week. Guided by business professionals, they gain hands-on experience in leadership, teamwork, and innovation. Students leave with greater confidence, career insight, and a clearer sense of their future. 

The Youth Business and Leadership Program at the UW Foster School of Business, in partnership with Summer Springboard, offers an immersive two week program (July 13-25, 2025) for rising high school juniors and seniors interested in business and leadership. Set on the UW campus in Seattle, the program blends interactive workshops, case studies and mentorship to introduce students to entrepreneurship, marketing and financial literacy. Students gain hands-on exposure to college-level content while building critical thinking and leadership skills in a fun and collaborative environment. The program offers the option to either commute (ie, join during the day if you're local) or stay on campus the entire duration (ie, experience dorm life if from outside the region). Learn more. 

Join UW for the summer Washington Wednesday live webinar series to learn more about the University of Washington, find answers to your questions and get a head start on the freshman application.  

Sessions will be held Wednesdays from 4–5pm. (Pacific Time) on Zoom throughout June, July, August, and September. Register for each event separately by clicking on the event links below. 

Rising seniors are all welcome to join the College and Career Counseling team next week for college application workshops. All interested students are encouraged to sign up for a spot now! Space is limited, so please register here.
