I was a student at this school during the 1977-1978 school year and I thank the lord above for this school! I was so sad to hear how different it is today. I had come from a huge school and was an outcast and finally at Capital City I was able to get a wonderful education and have friends at the same time. I would love to connect with anyone that was there during that time period but I haven't been able to find anyone.

These teachers did the very best they possibly could with the worst students in the city. Members of the faculty were abused, manipulated, harrassed, ridiculed, and threatened on a regular basis, yet they still found time to make me feel important while teaching the common curriculum for my age and grade.

This school is a last resort for many students and I believe all of the teachers should be honored for their commitment.
