Although a small school on the border between Utah and Arizona, there are still many positives to be had. The overall athletic side of the school is always at the top of the standings, and the academics are good for how much funding the school gets, which isn't much.

My experience with El Capitan was about what you'd expect from a small high school in a small town governed by religion. The diversity wasn't too great, and sometimes the administration was a little too involved in every day school life. At El Capitan, you can expect to find a very small and tight nit community, not too open to outsiders.
