Career Update
We are continuing to build connections with our Kennedy Catholic alumni, parents, and community to help expose students to different career fields. We have lined up a number of presenters to share their experiences with students in classrooms, and we are continuing to develop internship opportunity ideas for students to gain real-world work experience. In the coming months, we will be surveying students to collect data on what types of career experiences they would like to see offered through Kennedy Catholic and which career fields have the most interest. Our team of faculty and staff are working hard to continually provide more opportunities to our students and help them prepare for their futures after graduating from Kennedy Catholic.
