COLLEGE GUIDANCE STAFF
ACCREDITATION Board of Regents of the State of New York and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. KELLENBERG AND COVID-19 In the Fall of 2020, Kellenberg Memorial proudly opened its doors and welcomed students back to campus. Given the option to attend full-time, hybrid, or remote, 92% of the student body elected to come back to class full-time! This is a testament to the level of engagement in our school community. In those early months, we maintained our commitment to personal growth and development by offering virtual clubs and activities. When COVID restrictions eased, we returned in-person sports, school wide Faith Friday events, and the full measure of clubs and activities.
