Achieving the Extraordinary Award 2023-2024

Since 2015 the JFK School has celebrated Achieving Extraordinary, a program to value only those students who have achieved something exceptional in different areas like academics, sports or extracurricular activities.

This year we’re going to reward two great students:

Clarisa Temelo (12°) has made a name for herself as Golfer, just to name one of her many accomplishments, she ranked 4th in last years “Women’s Amateur Latin America”.

While being a top athlete sometimes means leaving school aside, this was not the case for Clarisa. She completed the IB program and was offered 100% scholarship in 6 different Universities in the US. Clarisa will be attending the University of Arkansas.

Mauricio Kouske Andrade (8°) recently graduated from Japanese school after an 11-year commitment degree this March. It wasn't easy at all to have a double-school-life for 11 years, but he did it! 

We would like to congratulate him on this Extraordinary Achievement, which will open so many doors in his future, help to preserve his cultural connections to his mother and his father, and add rich experiences for him and his peers in the classroom.

Congratulations Jaguars!!

Desde 2015, la Escuela JFK ha celebrado Achieving the Extraordinary, un programa para reconocer solo a aquellos alumnos que han logrado algo excepcional en diferentes áreas como académicas, deportivas o actividades extracurriculares.

Este año vamos a premiar a dos grandes estudiantes:

Clarisa Temelo (12°) se ha destacado como golfista; solo por nombrar uno de sus muchos logros, se ubicó en el cuarto lugar en el “Women’s Amateur Latin America” del año pasado. Aunque ser una atleta de alto nivel a veces significa dejar de lado la escuela, este no fue el caso para Clarisa. Completó el programa del IB y recibió una oferta de beca completa en 6 universidades diferentes en los EE. UU. Clarisa asistirá a la Universidad de Arkansas.

Mauricio Kouske Andrade (8°) se graduó recientemente de la escuela japonesa después de un compromiso de 11 años en marzo de este año. No fue nada fácil llevar una doble vida escolar durante 11 años, ¡pero lo logró! Nos gustaría felicitarlo por este Logro Extraordinario, que le abrirá muchas puertas en el futuro, ayudará a preservar sus conexiones culturales con su madre y su padre, y añadirá ricas experiencias para él y sus compañeros en el aula.

¡Muchas felicidades Jaguasrs!

On October 11th, our school was filled with energy and excitement during Jaguar Day. This special event brought together students from all sections for a day packed with sports activities, laughter, and, above all, to celebrate the birthday of our beloved JJ. From early on, students participated in many team games. Although the competition was fierce, the highlight was the incredible camaraderie, with students cheering each other on and forming bonds that strengthened their team spirit. The most anticipated moment of the day was undoubtedly JJ's birthday party. Friends from other schools, such as Cumbres, Anáhuac, Plenus, Newland, Cuauhtémoc, Gallos Negros, and Celta, joined in on the celebration. JJ, with his characteristic enthusiasm, danced, played, and, of course, received many hugs and good wishes from his friends.
