Following Typhoon Karen, GWHS held double sessions at John F. Kennedy High School.

On August 26, 1965, Governor Guerrero signed Public Law 8-74, introduced by Senator George M. Bamba.

In 1976, the Guam Community College began offering vocational training courses in nursing, marketing, and electronics through JFKHS.

The students were able to finally arrive to school on August 24 after the chlordane levels in the air were declared safe.

JFKHS accommodates approximately 1,750 students annually from grades 9 through 12 and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

In celebration of JFKHS's 50th anniversary, the new statue of President Kennedy was presented to the student body, alumni, and the community of Guam.
