The time spent in John J Kennedy Middle College high school have been 4 years of my life that will truly stick with me and my career forever. It was at this place I was able to develop many of my educational skills and truly learn how to thrive in a professional setting such as at a career as well as a higher education setting by allowing me to engage in college courses and graduate with my AS in Math and Science.

Awesome school experience especially with proximity to Norco College where we've been able to dual-enroll to take more classes!

John F. Kennedy is one of the best highschools for academics in the Corona Norco United School District in my opinion. It is connected to Norco college and students at JFK get to take college classes while taking high school classes. Students who continue taking college classes can graduate high school with an associate's degree and that is probably the best part of my experience. The only thing I would change is having an honors program for highschool and having more extracurriculars.
