My name is Jennifer Richard-Gantka and I have been teaching biological and environmental sciences since September 2004. As a product of the Los Angeles Unified School District (Chatsworth HS - Class of 2000), it has been a wonderful experience to be able to return to LAUSD as an educator. I began my teaching career at my alma matter, Chatsworth High School, and came to the Kennedy Medical Magnet in 2016. I developed the JFKHS Global Leadership & Environmental Action Magnet, which opened in fall of 2021.
