John F Kennedy Catholic School

What John F Kennedy Catholic School does

John F. Kennedy Catholic School is a private Roman Catholic PK-12 institution operating in Warren, Ohio, under the governance of the Diocese of Youngstown. Founded in 1964, the school runs two co-located campuses — a Lower Campus at 3000 Reeves Rd NE serving Grades K-5 and an Upper Campus at 2550 Central Pkwy Ave SE serving Grades 6-12 — with 596 students enrolled on an Average Daily Membership basis as of October 2024 (347 Upper Campus, 249 Lower Campus) and 51-100 staff. The school is led by President William Pituch and offers a college-preparatory curriculum including Advanced Placement and honors courses, dual enrollment through Ohio's College Credit Plus program with partner Youngstown State University, a 1:1 technology program built on the PowerSchool family portal, a dedicated THINK Lab for STEM and digital fabrication, and supplementary athletics, performing arts, and speech and debate programming. The Eagles athletics program has produced three consecutive OHSAA Division III State Golf Championships (2022-2024), and the school's 29th overall OHSAA playoff appearance signals a sustained competitive tradition.

The revenue model is anchored in recurring tuition, supplemented by charitable donations from alumni and families, ancillary service fees (transcripts at $5/unit, Summer at Kennedy camp registrations, Eagles Nest Spirit Shop merchandise sales), and Ohio's EdChoice Scholarship Program, which opens a publicly funded tuition channel for eligible students. Marketing and admissions are conducted through a multi-channel approach: the warrenjfk.com website, Facebook and Instagram pages for both campuses, a Vimeo channel, the Kennedy mobile application, a Kennedy Business Alliance program connecting local employers to the school, and community events. The Director of Enrollment Management (Megan Ifft, with Judi LaPolla also identified in admissions materials) handles prospective-family inquiries across both campuses. Upper Campus college outcomes are a key value proposition, with the Class of 2026 receiving $4.3 million in collegiate scholarship offers (averaging $130,000 per student) and 93% of graduates matriculating to four-year colleges; the Lower Campus has reported a 100% passing rate on Ohio's 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee assessment. The school holds full accreditation through the Ohio Catholic School Association (OCSAA) and complies with USDA nondiscrimination requirements for child nutrition programs.
