ESOL
The goal of the ESOL program is to teach and support our English Language Learners so that they reach a high level of English in order to be successful both linguistically, culturally and socially here at John F. Kennedy High School. We also endeavor to build skills that will help students to be successful in their futures after high school.

Vision
To promote the effective instruction of all English language learners across the curriculum to enable them to acquire the social and academic English needed to achieve in all content areas, pre K-12.
