KCEO was created by film maker and former teacher, Craig Lindvahl. The KCEO Program is open to students from ACGC, NL-S and WPS. The class runs from 7:15 - 8:45 am, every day of the week and students are responsible for their own transportation. The KCEO class partners with local businesses to create a real-world educational experience. Students are immersed in real-life experiences with the opportunity to take risks, manage the results, and learn from the outcomes. Fifteen to twenty-two students are selected from an application process to participate in the year-long course.
