Rancho Cielo Youth Campus is gearing up to celebrate its largest graduating class with more than 90 students earning their high school diplomas. The ceremony will take place on Friday, June 12, at 6pm at the Sally Hughes Church Amphitheater on 710 Old Stage Road in Salinas, and will be livestreamed for the first time.
“This year's graduating class represents something truly extraordinary. More than 90 young people are walking this year, marking the largest graduating class in Rancho Cielo's history,” CEO Chris Devers says. “Their achievement reflects not only their resilience, but also the power of opportunity and belief in what is possible."
Rancho Cielo offers vocational training and high school education in partnership with John Muir Charter Schools.
This milestone marks the third year in a row Rancho Cielo hits a record number of students graduating, showing the expansion of its programs and the impact in the community.
“Graduation is more than a ceremony; it is a life-changing milestone. Many of these students once doubted whether earning a diploma was within reach,” Devers says. “They are proving that with guidance and hard work, they can overcome obstacles and create a brighter future for themselves.”
