🌟 Student Spotlight: Karol Santana on the Kankakee County CEO Program 🌟

"I have learned about real-life business problems and adventures. This program is very different from learning in school because it keeps me responsible for myself and makes me take accountability for every action."

Karol Santana, a senior at Kankakee High School, perfectly captures the transformative experience of the Kankakee County CEO program. More than just a class, CEO equips students with the tools, confidence, and discipline to succeed in business—and life.

Through hands-on learning and real-world exposure in his first semester of the Kankakee County CEO program, Karol has developed focus and discipline that have positively impacted not only his entrepreneurial mindset but also his performance in other areas: "My grades in my other classes are better because of the focus and discipline I have developed in CEO."

For Karol, CEO isn’t just about studying concepts—it’s about experiencing them firsthand: "CEO has let me experience a taste of the real world."

We’re so proud to see how CEO is helping students like Karol build a foundation for success, both inside and outside the classroom.
