Kennedy-Kenrick Catholic High School was a private, Roman Catholic high school in Norristown, Pennsylvania, United States, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Kennedy-Kenrick Catholic High School was established through a merger of Archbishop Kennedy High School in Conshohocken and Bishop Kenrick High School in Norristown, and opened in September 1993. It ultimately served the communities of Andorra, Blue Bell, Conshohocken, Lafayette Hill, Norristown, Roxborough, as well as many parts of Eastern and Northern Montgomery County and the communities on the Philadelphia/Montgomery line. Open enrollment, which was established throughout the Philadelphia Archdiocesan School System in September, 1993, admitted students from all the Philadelphia/Montgomery County areas.
Although Kennedy-Kenrick was a smaller school, the effectiveness of their programs were not affected in any way. The Field Hockey team won the PCL Championships (2008) after knocking out first place rival Archbishop Carroll.

On January 28, 2008, the archdiocese announced that a new high school in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County would replace Kennedy-Kenrick and St. Pius X High School in Lower Pottsgrove Township.
The new school, Pope John Paul II High School, is a 209,000-square-foot (19,400 m2) state-of-the-art facility with the latest 21st century technology. The school opened in September 2010.
The final academic school year for Kennedy-Kenrick started on September 9, 2009, with Freshmen Orientation. Throughout the year, the faculty and staff created special activities on the 17th of every month, as the 2009–2010 year marks the school's 17th and final year in operation. There are also plans underway for final celebrations of the school's rich heritage and legacy.
