Kennedy Middle School is located at 4000 Gallant Lane. Go west on Arrowood Road past S Tryon Street (Hwy 49) and through the Whitehall Office Park. Continue past the interchange of Future I-485 and past the stop light at Sandy Porter Road. Arrowood Road changes to Brown-Grier Road at this intersection. Kennedy Middle School is about 1/4 mile on the right. Enter from Gallant Lane. Come through the main front door. The Multi-purpose room is straight ahead, but you'll probably have to go around to one side or the other to enter.
