About Us - John F. Kennedy

The 2024-2025 school year will be my third as the principal of John F. Kennedy Elementary School.  From my time here, I can attest that JFK has an exceptional staff, fantastic students, and supportive and caring parents.  I am truly honored to be a part of the Kettering City School District and the JFK team!

At JFK, we will strive to provide a safe and caring learning environment that will allow each of our students to reach their full educational potential.  We will stress the importance of being responsible, respectful, and safe, and our teachers and staff members will work extremely hard to ensure that all students at JFK feel valued and supported.  

It is my belief that students reach their highest academic levels when there is a strong partnership established between the student, the family, and the school.  Therefore, I encourage all parents and guardians to reach out to your child’s teachers and staff members on a regular basis.  In addition, if you have any questions for me, or if you would simply like to share an idea or a concern, please do not hesitate to contact me! 

The 2023-2024 school year promises to be one to remember, and we look forward to helping our students make positive memories that will last a lifetime!!

Sincerely,
Gene Gooding
Principal
