John F. Kennedy High School (Mt. Angel, Oregon)

John F. Kennedy High School is a public school located in Mt. Angel, Oregon, United States, as part of the Mt. Angel School District.[4] The school was originally Mt.

Angel. The parish ran the school for five years until closing it in 1969.[6] It was reopened one year later as John F. Kennedy High School, and remains so today.
