Jack Kennedy

2024

Hi! My name is Jack Kennedy and I am currently a junior at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory (SHC) in San Francisco. I was born and raised in San Francisco and I live with my mom, dad, and two younger brothers.

For my middle school years, I attended San Francisco Friends School and it was here that I developed a love for learning. I would say that my favorite class currently is AP Calculus AB because it is extremely interesting, my teacher Ms. Constantino is great, and I always like a good math challenge. I feel like every class is its own little brain puzzle because we always are learning something new, so I constantly feel challenged.

Outside of school, I play basketball for clubs and for SHC. I was varsity basketball co-captain this year when we won a CCS Open Championship. This summer I plan to work on my jump shot to be more effective from outside of the paint. This way I can play more like a guard.

For every year of my i2 project, my primary focus has been homelessness in San Francisco. Growing up in the city I have been exposed to the homelessness crisis on a daily basis. The goal of my projects was to humanize homeless people by telling their life stories, and also provide a resource for SHC students to learn about homelessness. Additionally, I hoped to tell the city government’s side of the story, which is why my groupmates and I interviewed members of the city government.
