What do Kino students do after Kino?
Kino is very proud of its graduates. They go on to be wonderfully caring, creative, hardworking, and thoughtful adults. Many of them come back to Kino -- as parents, teachers, board members, and volunteers.
Often our graduates come back to Kino as teachers: Felice Espinoza, Christine Lytwynczuk, Ashley Duncan,and Neill Prohaska, who is currently a member of our faculty. Their intelligence and skills, together with their commitment to continuing the Kino tradition for another generation of students, is about the best testimonial for the school we can imagine.
We don't believe students only prove their success by getting into a competitive college, but since we started keeping track about twelve years ago, Kino students have been accepted by an amazing list of colleges.
While they were in college, Kino students also studied in India, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Spain, England, Costa Rica, France, and Ecuador.
Kino students have become teachers, lawyers, professors, doctors, social workers, chefs, soldiers, artists, dancers, entrepreneurs, parents of Kino students, journalists, emergency medical techs, musicians, and construction workers.
