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.
Kino students have become teachers, doctors, social workers, chefs, soldiers, artists, dancers, entrepreneurs, journalists, emergency medical techs, musicians, lawyers, professors, and construction workers.
