Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to Capitan High School—Home of the Mighty Fighting Tigers!
It is a true honor to serve as the principal of Capitan High School, which was recently recognized as one of the Top 6 High Schools in New Mexico by Money Inc. As a proud Capitan graduate (Class of 1986), I began my journey here in preschool and wore orange and black every step of the way. It’s a privilege to now lead the school that shaped my own life.
At Capitan High School, we are committed to holding every student to high expectations, fostering active engagement, and promoting personal accountability. Our instruction is tailored to ensure students gain the essential skills and knowledge to meet grade-level standards, while also providing the support they need to succeed. Most importantly, our dedicated staff works daily to build meaningful connections with students so they feel valued, safe, and supported.
We invite all parents and guardians to take an active role in our school community. Join our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and the Capitan Booster Club. Your involvement helps us create memorable experiences and unique opportunities for our students and staff.
My door is always open. Whether you have questions, concerns, or suggestions, I welcome your input and involvement. To stay informed, please follow us on Facebook and ensure that school calls and text messages are not blocked. I also encourage you to join Team Reach if your child participates in athletics or student activities—our coaches and activity sponsors use it to share important updates, schedules, and announcements.
Let’s work together for a successful school year. Go Tigers!
