Message From The Principal

Welcome to Capitol Middle Magnet School, where we are dedicated to cultivating a dynamic and forward-thinking learning environment that prepares our students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

At Capitol Middle, we take pride in our innovative Digital Media Pathways program. Through courses in broadcasting, podcasting, photography, and other media arts, our students are empowered to develop the technical skills and creative talents needed in today’s fast-paced digital world. These pathways are designed to inspire students to become effective communicators and creators, equipping them with the tools they need to tell compelling stories, express their ideas, and engage with the world in meaningful ways.

In addition, our STEM Pathways, in partnership with LSU, offer students a robust and immersive experience in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This collaboration allows our students to explore cutting-edge scientific concepts, engage in innovative problem-solving, and apply their learning to real-world scenarios. By fostering curiosity and critical thinking, we aim to prepare our students for the rapidly evolving careers of tomorrow.

These programs are not just about preparing students for high school—they are about equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in college, careers, and beyond. We are committed to providing every student with the opportunity to explore their passions, develop their potential, and achieve their dreams.

As we look to the future, we remain focused on our mission to inspire excellence and nurture lifelong learners. We invite you to join us in this journey, as we work together to build a strong, vibrant, and successful school community.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school.

Dr. Cleotha Johnigan Jr.
