On behalf of the faculty and staff, we would like to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year. Education is a critical component of each of our lives and we at CHS feel privileged to partner with you in your academic success. Over the course of the school year, we ask that you seek out members of the staff, so that we can provide you the best support possible in achieving your goals. Our school is here to serve you. Capuchino has an excellent tradition of student achievement and citizenship. We look forward to building on that strength during the 2018-19 school year by creating dynamic educational supports and opportunities. Over the course of the year, we ask that you put forth your best academic effort, maintain strong attendance, and participate in extracurricular activities. Each year we ask that you identify areas of passion, in order to participate in and further develop our school community. You are receiving this handbook 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. Please review the contents of the handbook and make note of important dates in order to prepare yourself for success. As I enter my first year as a Mustang, it is an honor to lead and serve this community. Whether you are a senior who will be graduating with the Class of 2019, an incoming 9th grader, or a 10th/11th grade student, we look forward to making your high school years both meaningful and enjoyable. Have a great year and remember, Bring Your Best, Expect Success!
