On behalf of the faculty and staff, we would like to welcome you to the 2017-2018 school year. We look forward to assisting you in fulfilling your educational goals and hope that we can provide a positive and challenging educational experience for you. If you require any assistance throughout the school year, please seek out any of our faculty, staff, and/or administrator; we will gladly partner with you! Capuchino has an excellent tradition of student achievement and citizenship. Success occurs because of student initiative, accountability, a caring and knowledgeable staff, and a supportive community. We find that students experience success at Capuchino High School when they are committed to school, maintain good attendance, prepare for class, and participate in extracurricular activities. You are receiving this student planner because we believe that students do better when they know what is expected, understand how to organize and study, and make good use of their time. Hopefully, this instructional tool will help. Use the enclosed calendar to make note of important dates. We hope that you will take advantage of this school year and the opportunities available to make your high school years both meaningful and enjoyable. Have a great year and remember, Bring Your Best, Expect Success!
