John F. Kennedy Catholic School, an educational ministry of St. James Parish (Immaculate Conception) since 1901, proclaims the values of the Gospel while serving families of the city of Washington and surrounding communities. Focused on meeting the needs of each student placed in our care, we strive to develop their spiritual, emotional, scholastic, and physical well-being. As educators, we spread the good news of Jesus while guiding our students to follow His way when making choices in life. Our mission is to provide an exemplary, Christ-centered educational program rooted in Catholic traditions within a loving and caring environment.
