Overview: Kennedy Elementary is located at 2906 North 30th Street. The current building was built in 1910 and is named for the first educator to establish a public school system in Omaha. Kennedy Elementary was completely renovated under the provision of an extensive bond issue approved by voters. Kennedy Elementary currently serves children in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Kennedy is proud to have the services of instructional leaders in STEAM, Early Learning, SEL, and Literacy, as well as classes for English as a Second Language, speech therapy, and special education.
