Mission and Philosophy

It is the mission of Kennedy Catholic to graduate leaders following Christ in a school community that is accessible, diverse and committed to pursuing the fullest potential of every student.

We believe...  
The Lancer Family including staff, teachers, parents, alumni, community groups, and agencies form collaborative, networking relationships that are student-centered and focused on providing the necessary support for all students to succeed in school.

We believe...
Teachers are caring and qualified professionals committed to working collaboratively to maximize student potential by upholding rigorous standards and incorporating best practices.

We believe...
Education is a gradual process of acquiring knowledge, faith, skills, and character while implanting a will and curiosity for learning. This is accomplished by addressing the unique abilities of all students in a college preparatory environment so they continue to learn and live in a global society.

We believe...
Parents reflect Family and model Catholic Christian values. They are involved, supportive, and committed to creating a school that is accessible to all.

We believe...
Students form a diverse, respectful, and active school community. They demonstrate leadership through their work ethic, service, the pursuit of knowledge, school spirit, and commitment to spiritual growth.

We believe...
An Archdiocesan Catholic High School, we anchor ourselves to the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching, fulfilling the mission of the Church with its accessibility, inspiring a call to live as Jesus lived.
