John F. Kennedy High School: Home of the Knights

 

JFK Knights logo

 

John F. Kennedy Educational Complex offers three seasons of sports for registered students. Many of the sports have both varsity and junior varsity levels of play, enabling students to learn a new sport and improve their playing ability. Some sports, due to limited team size, hold tryouts for available positions. Our teams compete in the Big North Conference, Passaic County Coaches Association and New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
