John F. Kennedy High School is a high school located in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana in the United States. It is a charter school under the Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB).
The original John F. Kennedy High School located in City Park closed due to flooding and damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in the fall of 2005.
In August 2009, a $39 million school building opened at 6026 Paris Ave. and became Greater Gentilly High School.
In 2011, Greater Gentilly High School and Thurgood Marshall Early College High School merged and Lake Area New Tech Early College High School opened in the former Greater Gentilly High School building. [1]
In July 2018, John F. Kennedy High School reopened in the former Greater Gentilly and Lake Area New Tech Early College High School building and was run by the New Beginnings Schools Foundation. [1] [2] In July 2019, it was announced that The New Beginnings Foundation would relinquish control of John F. Kennedy following a grades changing scandal. [3]
In August 2019 KIPP New Orleans stated that it was interested in taking management of this school. [4] OPSB Superintendent Henderson Lewis, Jr. gave approval that month; it would be effective the next school year. [5]
