Case Study: Cristo Rey Kansas City High School achieves future-ready student skills with Microsoft Corporation

Cristo Rey prepares tech-savvy students for the working world

Cristo Rey Kansas City High School, a K-12 work-study school serving students from diverse backgrounds, needed a way to build strong technology skills while managing a mix of iPads and Windows 10 laptops. The school wanted students to learn Microsoft Office tools and gain workplace-ready experience, and it turned to Microsoft Corporation, using products such as Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Teams, Office 365, and Windows 10.

Microsoft Corporation helped Cristo Rey Kansas City High School simplify device management and strengthen instruction through Microsoft Intune for Education, which reduced summer device setup from weeks to just three or four days. The school also expanded its Microsoft Office Specialist certification program and uses Microsoft tools in class and work-study learning, helping students earn certifications, build confidence, and graduate with real-world experience; the school reports that 100% of graduates are accepted into college or university, with direct college enrollment above 85%.
