JFK High School Art Room Renovation

This project is Phase I of a larger project and must be completed by August 7, 2026. We are converting a virtual welding lab into a new Art Room. Many of the cabinets from the old art room will be reused in this project. The work in this phase consists of electrical, mechanical, carpentry, flooring and interior painting.

Going forward the two former art rooms will be conbined and converted into one state of the art welding lab with the design help of Lincoln Electric and will be bid in the near future.

The JFK campus will feature academic programming that is personalized toward individual students’ success, preparing them for postsecondary education and/or career exploration.

The New JFK features two pathways sure to excite, develop and prepare all students for the next phase of their journey. The pathways are as follows:

• An innovative college preparatory curriculum that provides access to two-and four-year institutions, including but not limited to Tri-C, Hiram College and Cleveland State University and the AVID college-readiness program.
• A career-technical pathway featuring a focus on but not limited to advanced manufacturing, including welding and CNC machinery. This will be held in conjunction with MAGNET’s Early College Early Career program and Cuyahoga Community College.

Pathways will integrate rigorous courses that will allow students to engage in complex academic tasks that challenge them, promote critical thinking and foster a passion for self-directed learning through authentic experiences.
