Meet Kevin Granillo, new to the 8th grade class at Santa Fe Prep and a second-year Santa Fe Breakthrough student. When Kevin was in 6th grade, he decided to apply for Breakthrough because he saw it as a way to grow as a student and person as a whole. Over the past two years, Breakthrough has evolved into a community for Kevin, where he feels encouraged to do better in school, meet new people, and have a positive outlook. Kevin is excited to be joining the Prep community, where he knows he will be challenged academically and will work towards his goal of becoming a surgeon.
