We welcome your student to El Capitan High School and are glad for them to become a part of our Vaquero Family! In previous years, incoming freshmen have received a "Welcome Packet" with information about our school regarding clubs, sports, ASB, PTSA, and more. This year we have gone virtual! This page will include everything you need to get your student registered for high school. We are looking forward to partnering with you to help all of our students strive for academic and personal excellence.
Welcome to El Capitan... YOU BELONG HERE.
