The celebration kicked off April 17 with a sold-out Benefit Concert at the school for at least 400 guests, featuring accomplished vocalist Jocelyn B.Smith and friends including the JFKS Jazz Ensemble.

Also in April, the lecture series started with leading partners in the fields of music, education and politics.

Two further successful events by and with students and teachers were the Fine Arts Show and the John F. Kennedy Week that took place in May.
