History
John F. Kennedy Middle School (KMS) was founded in 1963 as Kennedy Junior High School. The CUSD school board had passed a resolution to name the new school after the victor of the 1960 presidential election before the close election between Kennedy and Nixon had taken place. Originally only composed of seventh and eighth grade, Kennedy extended enrollment to sixth grade in the Fall of 1998, and was renamed to Kennedy Middle school a year later, in Fall 1999.
