Capital High School

Capital High School Counseling Center

Our primary mission is to empower all students to make informed and intentional decisions regarding their education, their health, and their future.

  

The students are assigned to a counselor as a freshman and keep that counselor all four years. Students will be assigned to a counselor based on their last names. CHS counselors are listed below with their portion of the alphabet and contact information. How do you make an appointment with your counselor? Use the link provided by each counselor below to make an appointment (Zoom or in person), call their extension directly, call Mrs. Chipman the Counseling Dept secretary @ 596-8027 to schedule a time, or email them.
