Shadow Program What is the Kennedy Shadowing Program? Kennedy allows 8th grade students to visit the school during the fall and 7th graders in the spring. The visiting students have the opportunity to experience a typical day at Kennedy. It is a great way to get a feel for the classes, teachers, and current students. It is highly encouraged for prospective students. It is a great way to experience Celt Pride.
