Dear Families,

It is with great excitement and anticipation that I introduce myself as the new Head Football Coach at JFK. My mission is simple: to develop young men who are not only exceptional athletes but also leaders on and off the field. We are building a culture of discipline, accountability, and relentless effort with purpose. Every day, our goal is to elevate the standard of excellence – in practice, in the classroom, and in the community.

I believe in hard work, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. Together, we will create a program where every player knows that their effort, their attitude, and their commitment will be the difference between success and failure. I am committed to pushing each athlete to their full potential, and I’m eager to lead our team to new heights.

As we kick off the 2025 season and dive right in, please mark the following dates on your calendars:

4/11/2025:  Football Parent Meeting
4/21/2025:  Iron Cougars begins (mandatory Strength Training and Conditioning for students)
4/21/2025:  Mandatory Study Hall begins
5/5/2025:  Spring Football practices begin

We are about to embark on something special. Let’s make it unforgettable.

Sincerely,
 Coach Mervin Brookins II
 Head Football Coach
 John F Kennedy High School
