Kennedy Secondary School is the combined middle school and high school located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, United States. It currently serves over 2,000 students and is a part of the Fergus Falls Public Schools system. The official school colors are maroon and gold, and the athletic teams are known as "The Otters". The Senior High School was renamed from Fergus Falls Senior High School to Kennedy Secondary School at the beginning of the 2010–2011 school year when the school was relocated to the former Fergus Falls Middle School following a three-year rebuilding project of that school.
