El Capitan High School

Hello,

It is my privilege to introduce you to El Capitan High School.  Our mission is to achieve EXCELLENCE through COMMUNITY, where we support each other as we journey through the high school years together.  We have strong community support for our programs, as we’ve seen generations of families attend school here, including the many alumni who have returned to El Capitan to join our staff.  We realize that each student is an individual with his/her own hopes and dreams, and we strive to meet these individual needs as we prepare our students to meet their goals in and beyond high school.  We believe you will find no better high school experience than at El Capitan, and we would love for the opportunity to meet you.

Sincerely,

Laura Whitaker, Principal
