Principal

Welcome Kennedy Colt Community !  It is with great pleasure that I welcome everyone to the 2023-2024 school year! As the new principal at John F. Kennedy, I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and working together for a great school year. I feel fortunate to start my 11th year in education at Kennedy and am honored to join a school community where success is the only option.

My name is Meg Hill, and I am the Assistant Principal here at Kennedy.  I am here to help students, parents, faculty and staff. You can always reach out to me at 602-232-4220 or via email.

In 2000, I graduated with my Bachelor’s of Science in Art Education degree at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I spent the next 11 years teaching kindergarten through 8th grade Art in Nebraska and Iowa.

In 2006, I went back to school to earn my Master’s of Science in Educational Leadership because I was interested in how schools work and how we can make changes to better support all learners.

In 2011, my family and I relocated to the Valley. We love the sun, the warmth (maybe not 117 degrees!), and the lack of tornados!

My first position in Phoenix was in the Balsz School District as a kindergarten through 8th grade Technology Teacher. I was fortunate to work with a diverse group of students who taught me much about the nature of immigration and homelessness in the Phoenix community. And while I loved my work, I still wanted to pursue a leadership role. This, thankfully, brought me to the Roosevelt Family!

I first taught Art at C.J. Jorgensen, and I loved the neighborhood and community, but was given the opportunity to apply for a new position called the School Leader Intern, which brought me to Kennedy. 

Coming to Kennedy, I found the job I had wanted for years. I get to work with the best families, students, faculty and staff! I love coming to work everyday!

I am here for you. Please let me know how I can help!
