John F. Kennedy High School is one of two public high schools located in Bloomington, Minnesota, United States. Named after former president John F. Kennedy, it was opened in 1965 due to the rapid growth of Bloomington at the time.
The school had been a member of the Lake Conference since the school opened but left the Lake Conference after the 2009âÂÂ10 school year to become part of the new South Suburban Conference. In 2014, Kennedy joined the new Metro West Conference. In 2022, Kennedy joined the Tri-Metro Conference.
Kennedy has two competitive show choirs, the mixed-gender "Rhythm in Gold", and the intermediate treble group "East Side Rhythm", which debuted during the 2022 competitive season under the name "Blue and Gold Velvet". The program also hosts an annual competition. It also has a large instrumental music department, split into Band and Orchestra. The Band also plays at some sports games.
