And the winner is.........

The winning photographer in the "What is JFK?" photo contest is SET Senior Genesis Encarnacion! Genesis submitted the photo below, taken behind our school.
The judges praised her picture because of its near-perfect exposure and composition, including the reflections of the trees which were just coming into their spring bloom in the stream below. The judges said, "This picture gives a positive feeling of renewal -- despite all of our stress and difficulties, spring always brings new growth and new hope."

Here is what Genesis said about her picture:
"This is a photo of the park behind the school. It represents JFK because the park is a place where students have gym when it is nice and where many students hang out."

For submitting the winning entry, 

Genesis will receive a $50. gift card for Amazon.com.

Congratulations!!

All of the photos that were entered were remarkable in their own ways; it's unfortunate that we can only choose one winner. Thanks to all of the photographers who entered our first photo contest. There will be more opportunities in the fall!

It is nice to know that JFK High School is admired not just by people, but by wildlife, too.

What Is JFK?  The hallways are always clear because our students go to class.

We are a good school now because we recycle. Look at the recycling bin.

When I look at Kennedy's gates, it gives me a sense of security. I know that I am safe.

What is JFK? We are not that school anymore. JFK high school is history.   We are an evolved school. We are John F. Kennedy Educational Complex.

This is the school that changes as it gets older.

Waniece Moore, SET Junior
Kennedy is about creating a new path every year. We reach new goals and raise the bar for each year. We are history in the making. We are forever changing for the better.

This is JFK. Like many things in life, we have two sides, one good and one bad. Despite how hard the darkness tries to devour our spirits, we stay grounded and shine bright like warriors through the other side…
