We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Capuchino has a very strong community, and I can confidently say all who attend are proud to be a mustang. Our school offers IB classes instead of AP classes, which is strange to get used to as AP is the norm everywhere else, but I feel enriched and very well educated in all of my classes.

When grown-ups said high school would go by fast, they were right. 4 years done. The best part of my high school experience was my dance shows. Dance was a way to express myself. I start like a blank sheet of paper before an essay, without any idea what song I will perform or what choreography I will make up. However, in the blink of an eye, you are behind the curtains in your ready position, your heart beating, the curtains go up and the music starts.
