The goals for the Smaller Learning Communities are to improve student achievement, personalize students' learning experiences, and build upon our college-going culture. All of our Smaller Learning Communities are dedicated to helping students become "A-G" college ready and achieving John F. Kennedy High School's expected school wide learning results. In October 2006, John F. Kennedy received a Federal Small Learning Communities Grant. Since then JFK has established Ninth Grade Families. The teachers meet during common prep time to plan curriculum and collaborate on ways to better assist their students. In fall of 2008, JFK announced its first academy, the Green Tech Academy, and received a California Partnership Academy Grant. Students in this academy take courses such as Biotech (Ohlone College dual credit classes taught at Kennedy) and may earn the BioTech Certificate. In spring 2009, the Green Ventures Academy was awarded CPA funding for students interested in linking academic standards with real world experiences in nutrition, culinary arts and recycling. Classes in both academies engage students in reading, research, real-world projects and internships, all focused on green technologies. Many SLC classrooms are equipped with Promethean Interactive Whiteboards and more are set to be installed in 2011.

John F. Kennedy High School is a certified AVID school and has AVID Elective Classes at all four grade levels in the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Many Kennedy teachers have been AVID trained and utilize AVID strategies in the classroom. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination and is a proven way for students to become college ready. For one period a day, they learn organizational and study skills, work on critical thinking and asking probing questions, get academic help from peers and college tutors, and participate in enrichment and motivational activities that make college attainable. Their self-images improve and they become academically successful leaders and role models for other students. Kennedy celebrates the class of 2011, the first graduating class of AVID. Every AVID graduate in the class of 2011 is going on to a four-year university next year. This year the AVID program has expanded to include two sections of AVID 9 for each incoming class. AVID has an ASB Club as well as its site team composed of teachers, administrators, counselors, staff, parents, community members, and students.

California Partnership Academies The CPA model is a three-year program (grades ten-twelve) structured as a school-within-a-school. Academies incorporate integrated academic and career technical education, business partnerships, mentoring, and internships.

Green Ventures Academy

Student Comments:

Green Tech Academy

Green Tech is a unique program that puts young learners on a path to success that starts in high school, leads to college, and then to great job opportunities in biotechnology and green collar jobs. Green Tech students take courses in biotechnology, ecology, and environmental research to develop skills and acquire the knowledge that prepares them for the Ohlone Biotech Certificate, continuing education at the university level, and workforce employment. Green Tech students have participated in programs such as Stanford RISE Internship and CYES California Youth Energy Services.

The GREEN TEAM at Kennedy is made up of GTA, GVA, ASB, the Environmental, Recycling, and 540 Clubs to promote green projects and events

such as the Amphitheater Project and the Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, and Rot Assemblies at our local elementary schools.

SLC

The Green Ventures Academy at John F. Kennedy High School is a groundbreaking class that is blazing new trails for high school students who are interested in the green hospitality, tourist, and management industry. The class offers students many opportunities to gain experience and knowledge of careers that interest them. The academy goes on numerous field trips to job shadow and also to colleges to help the students get on a track to success. In addition they also recycle and grow organic crops to use in culinary class, which offers hands on learning. I am glad that I joined Green Ventures and I’m sure many of my fellow classmates are as well. – Nate Bernardo, Class of 2012

Green Ventures is a green California partnership of hospitality, culinary arts, and business academy. Ventures students are involved in gardening, hunger awareness, recycling, and environmental service learning projects in Advisory class. Ventures’ goals are to provide real solutions for living eco-friendly and healthy and for students to explore training and job skills in growing professions and industries.

I have been a part of Green Ventures for two years now and as the academy has grown so have I. The people in it are amazing and together we have grown into a large family that help each other succeed academically and in attempts of creating a greener future. The events we have catered to, the field trips we’ve been on and the projects we have set forth have given me the opportunity to many experiences that will help aid me in planning my future while still in high school. I am glad that Luke Aseo had dragged me into his advisory one day last year, or else I would have never been enrolled in such a great program. –Chelsea Ancheta, Class of 2012

PBL Project Based Learning (PBL) is at the heart of good instruction because it brings together intellectual inquiry, rigorous real-world standards, and student engagement in relevant and meaningful work. It is a comprehensive instructional model in which project work is central to student understanding of the essential concepts and principles of the disciplines. At John F. Kennedy High School, we are committed to Project Based learning within each of our academies, families, departments and classrooms. Since 2007, past annual PBL events included themes such as Credo, Genocide, and Sustainability. In the spring of 2010, the Passport to Knowledge theme allowed for ten PBL events to showcase several student projects:

• The Volume of Solids, presented by Calculus Students • The Government Faire, presented by Government Students • Hunger Awareness Project, presented by Green Ventures Academy Students • Science and Identity, presented by Green Tech Academy Students • Pasaporte a España, presented by Spanish Language Students • Big Brother – Big Sister, a Naviance Project presented by Computer Students • Passport to the Future, presented by Ninth Grade Families • Spectrum of the Arts, presented by Fine Arts Students • High School Without Drama, presented by the Drama Club • The Decades Project, presented by U.S. History Students

2010-2011 PBL Projects Include: Health and Wellness Service Learning Spectrum of the Arts YMCA Youth and Government Bill Hearing Night Green Team Assemblies at Local Elementary

Schools (Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, and Rot) Green Tech Academy Legacy Projects: Media

Project and Outdoor Class (photos below show work in progress)

Advisory Advisory Classes meet for 20 minutes per day to provide support to students in acquiring college-ready skills and keeping them involved in the school community. Many SLCs, such as AVID, Family, and Academy students, meet daily during Advisory. There are also specialized Advisory Classes for students focusing on academic tutorials and the college application process. Advisory classes are placed by grade level and/or students’ personalized needs. The staff meets regularly to participate in a Cycle of Inquiry (COI) to improve grade level, academic, and SLC support.

Ninth Grade Families

Ninth Grade Families provide a support system for ninth graders, giving students opportunities to get to know each other and their teachers. This has helped to create a more inclusive school community with shared classes and collaborative teachers. Families have common English, Science, Math, and Advisory Classes and work on common projects and themes such as PBL.

Summer Bridge

Summer Bridge assists incoming ninth graders in making a successful transition from junior high to high school. Students take summer classes from Kennedy teachers to become acclimated to campus life at JFK, learn effective academic skills, and make new friends. The overall ninth grade class GPA of first semester was 2.0. The GPA for first semester for ninth graders that attended summer bridge was 2.52.

FIT FIT stands for Freshmen In Transition, a program that supports ninth graders in their transition to high school and begins their college and career planning process. Students work in their Computer Applications classes on Naviance Projects, college and career research, computer skills, and more.

Link Crew Link Crew begins in the summer when a group of incoming ninth graders participate in an orientation and mentorship with upperclassmen who continue to mentor them throughout the year. Link Crew began at Kennedy in 2010 and built upon the “Freshmen Buddies” project in past years where seniors were paired up with freshmen to help them adjust to high school life. During this school year the program was expanded to include upperclassmen to serve as mentors to sophomores as well as freshmen.

John F. Kennedy Link Crew By: Prabhjot Nijjar, Class of 2012

Link Crew at John F. Kennedy High School is a new organization that debuted on 2010 in efforts to unify the freshmen class with upperclassmen. The 70 leaders are students who participate in JFK High School sports, clubs, academies, or in ASB. An example of a link leader is Christina Valdez who is the vice president of the JFK fashion club, in interact, one of the editors of the newspaper, and also in AVID. She and other leaders are a reflection of the great things JFKHS has to offer and share their experiences with the freshmen in hopes to ease their new high school lives. Link Crew first met in August for two days with Nicole Lavaud to begin their training as Link Leader’s. While there, everyone got to know each other’s names by playing games to break the ice. Then, the 3rd day was freshmen orientation day and the Link Leaders received rosters with the names of their assigned freshmen and participated with them in fun games and activities to get better acquainted. After the activities were finished, a BBQ was held for the freshmen while the Leaders met in the gym as they reflected on their experiences on the first half of their day. Soon after lunch it was time for the Link Leaders to lead their freshmen through the madness of Maze Day, where the freshmen were to get their schedules and everything else they needed for their first year in high school. The goal of the Link Leaders is to build a bond between the leaders and the freshmen, so that the freshmen can have someone to go to for help both socially and academically. The relationship between Link Leaders and their freshmen crew is one that will ideally last throughout high school.

“When I first met my set of freshmen, I was very nervous at first, but later, after getting to know each other, things went great.” -Puja Janda, Class of 2012

Titans are One of a Kind

By: Sukhmani Kocher, Class of 2014

As the United States becomes a more culturally and ethnically diverse nation, public schools are becoming more diverse as well. One of the schools notable in this process happens to be the home of the Titans, John F. Kennedy High School. When Kennedy students came to visit Walters Junior High my eighth grade year, they informed us of the great diversity within Kennedy and that there weren't any cliques. My first reaction to that was, “who has ever heard of a high school without cliques?” When I came to Kennedy however, I finally understood what those students spoke of. Sometimes, diversity can cause a clash of ideals and opinions because of the differences in culture, although at Kennedy, that is not a problem. There are many social groups composed of several different ethnicities and cultures, ridding the formation of cliques. With the many different ideals amongst a circle of friends, each culture contributes a different influence towards how each person develops. Diversity amongst purple and gold Titans provides for and creates a unique identity for Kennedy High School, differentiating it from other schools. It may be considered a small detail, diversity, but it really plays a big role in the grand scheme of a school, its activities and personalities of its students.

ASB

Associated Student Body and Leadership unite and support student life at Kennedy. Student Council Members are elected by the student body and their classes. There is a leadership class that meets daily and plans school events, projects, fundraisers, dances, and manages ASB funds. Leadership is designed for students to understand all aspects of project planning and execution as they explore what it means to be a leader. Students learn and develop skills necessary to work with other students, administration, local businesses and the community. With time for large group discussion over activities, break-down time with committees, and on-campus hands on work, each student will leave this Leadership class knowing they have contributed to making the Kennedy experience better for all those here today and for all those that will be here tomorrow. Students learn to be respectful of everyone and everything around them. This class revolves around students who are proactive and those who show initiative. Our focus throughout the class involves the ability to communicate with all levels of people and to follow through on tasks.

Clubs

Journalism

The Journalism class produces the school newspaper; members write articles, edit articles, and format production. They also report on events and issues at Kennedy. Publications class produces the yearbook.

Music and the Flea Market The John F. Kennedy High School Flea Market is held on the First Saturday of every month, except January, from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. This monthly event raises money for the Musical Arts at Kennedy.

PTSA Parents and families are an essential part of Kennedy’s success. Kennedy is fortunate to have an active and supportive PTSA whose members communicate frequently with monthly meetings, TitanTalk, a Yahoo mail group, and the website: http://sites.google.com/site/kennedyptsa/
