Faith & Service

Our faculty integrates faith into every aspect of the educational experience. They prioritize conveying the importance of honoring each individual’s dignity and hold every member of the school to this standard. Each member of our faculty and staff continue to be outstanding role models of daily life, emphasizing the importance of walking with Christ and commitment to serving.

Beyond the Classroom

We are proud to say that our Catholic school teachers are involved in the life of the school, far beyond the limitations of the classroom. Each educator prioritizes the importance of students developing new skills and pursuing their passions. They can foster these ideals through roles as coaches, advisors, and club sponsors, ultimately strengthening school culture and spirit.

Commitment to Diversity

The Kennedy Catholic Family of Schools is proud of its diverse and inclusive community. We welcome students from all diverse racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds, and strive to provide support and training to students and faculty/staff to engage in supportive and respectful dialogue. Our Catholic school faculty and staff incorporate culturally responsive teaching practices and promote an understanding of different perspectives, preparing students to thrive in a global society.
