As proud alumni of Kennedy High School, we are pleased to share with you some of the exciting things that are taking place at our beloved Cougar Nation.
In the past few years, the Alumni Association has supported and enhanced many school programs, including providing the funding to begin a state of the art robotics program, beautification of the school grounds, the electronic message board at the entrance to the school as well as providing many scholarships that are given annually at the Senior Awards Program.
We are currently in the process of another wonderful new project. As many of you know, longtime Kennedy Principal, Lorraine Poppe, passed away in April after a twenty-two month battle with cancer. Lorraine led Kennedy High School for twenty-three years and had hoped to complete a few more projects before she would retire. The main project she wished to accomplish was to turn the courtyard into a functional area where ceremonies, concerts and performances could be held, as well as give the students and faculty a place to “chill”.
We are proud to announce that beginning last year, work on that project began! The plans include all new brickwork, plantings, sod, a pavilion and a rock garden/waterfall. Several benches will also be installed. This project will provide opportunities for students and staff, as well as being a fitting tribute to Ms. Poppe’s legacy.
The Alumni Association is in the midst of raising money to complete this project, as well as initiate several others to help current and future students.
We are seeking the support of each Merricks Businesses to help us in our endeavors. All we are asking is for everyone to make a donation....$5, $10, $25 or more will make these dreams become a reality. There is no better way to celebrate all that you have received from Kennedy by paying it forward and supporting current and future students!
To help us reach our total goal of $50,000, we are asking that you take a moment today and consider donating to this wonderful cause.

Love supporting small business but Merrick Ave. needs more shopping options. There are only so many manicures and barber haircuts my family can handle.
I love merrick but needs an major upgrade! We need a local coffee shop (like other towns) and more options for shopping and dinning!! Really difficult though when large trucks are able to come barreling down Merrick Ave, destroying trees, making a lot of noise, and passing 3-4 schools.
