"In attending Law and Finance, I have been given the chance to enjoy the best of both worlds. I get to be in smaller classes that focus on law, and at the same time, take advantage of the many teams and clubs offered at Kennedy High School."

Akkaya

Goals: go to college and become a Pediatrician

"I feel that Law and Finance gives students a chance to communicate more with their teachers. Teachers get to know you and help you to learn."

Ana

Goals: College, but not yet sure of career

"I like the fact that teachers get to know you personally. I especially like the advisory period. You can write confidential letters to your advisory teacher if you have any issues. My advisory teacher also follows up on us if we aren't doing well in any of our classes, and I think that helps me stay on top of my academics."

Thy Thy
