  1. JOHN F. KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL Was named after our 35th President John F. Kennedy Senior, who strongly believed that “Power and Wealth is defined by how hard an individual is willing to work”!. Which is parallel to the mission and goal of College Careers Research and Development / College Careers Seminars and most of all, The Site Base Work Experience Program. Where we encourage students to embrace the various resources to assist in determining a career and educational pathway through a rigorous series of courses and job related experiences.

  2. FACTS ABOUT SITE-BASED WORK EXPERIENCE (SBWE) • FACT: You must pass College and Career Research and Development (CCRD) in order to enroll in SBWE as a senior. • FACT: Students that take CCRD must enroll in SBWE in their senior year. • FACT:CCRD is a great elective for ALL students, especially juniors, and not just students that want to take SBWE. In CCRD you will learn all about your interests, abilities, aptitudes, values, multiple intelligences and learning styles. You will then use that information to research careers and post-high school education opportunities. You will also learn how to look for and apply for a job, how to fill out applications, create resumes and cover letters, and how to interview for jobs. Finally you will learn about procedures you must follow when you are hired such as filling out tax forms and work permits and how to read a paycheck. You see, this class is for EVERYONE!

  4. 6. Students that have five classes must leave school by the start of 7th period (12:30) on days with a regular bell schedule). 7. On rare occasions, some students will have a 7th and maybe even a 8th period class at school and still be enrolled in SBWE. If this is the case, the student must leave school as soon as his/her last class is over AND is still responsible for meeting all of the requirements for SBWE. 8.
