History John F. Kennedy High School was opened on September 5, 1962 and the cornerstone was laid on August 12, 1962. It would later be named for President John F. Kennedy, the first school to do so. Until 1997, the middle school grades were housed in the high school until the district formed the new middle school.
The forester Bruce Kershner was a teacher at JFK high school until his death in 2007.
John F. Kennedy Middle School is housed in the same building as JFKHS. So that means the building houses grades 6-12, though different schools.
