Principal’s Message
IT'S COUGAR TIME!!!
It is with great pride and excitement that I serve as the Principal of John F. Kennedy Elementary! As a proud Kansas City, Kansas, native of our school district, I am honored to lead a community that is committed to student success and excellence.
With 24 years in education, I am passionate about building strong relationships, supporting effective educators, and ensuring every scholar has the tools, resources, and opportunities to thrive.
My philosophy: Every child deserves great learning experiences, positive relationships with healthy caring adults, and someone who will pour positivity into their souls.
Together, we will continue building a culture of collaboration, respect, high expectations, and achievement. I look forward to continuing to partner with our scholars, families, and staff as we learn, grow, and celebrate success together.
My door is always open, and I welcome your ideas, feedback, and support. Let's make this an amazing year!
Together we learn, Together we grow, Together we shine!
With Cougar Pride,
Mrs. Chantel L. Mason
Principal, John F. Kennedy Elementary School
