Hello families! My name is Mr. Jacob Kennedy and I am very excited to be back at Ridgeview JR/SR High School for my 16th year and 18th year teaching overall. I look forward to a positive year where your junior high students and I can grow and learn together.
I graduated from LeRoy High School, Lincoln College and Illinois State University. My wife, Stacie Kennedy, and I have a wonderful family of 5 kids, Kylie 19, Cole 17, Kellen 13, Caris 11, and Corden.
I am also the Head Basketball Coach, Freshman/JV Assistant Football Coach, and the district Athletic Director.
Class overview
What are the learning objectives for your class? Write a course description so students understand what to expect for the semester. You can add images below of students from past years, your classroom, or class projects.
If they praise you, show up and do the work. If they criticize you, show up and do the work. If no one even notices you, just show up and do the work. Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way. (Jon Gordon)
