Teachers & Staff
We are excited to introduce you to our dedicated staff! At Capitan Middle School we employ highly qualified teachers who are not only committed to educating your children using best practices in their field, but also to the improvement of their own teaching and expertise. This combination creates an atmosphere of respect, excitement, and cooperation. We invite you to get to know our teachers and think of ways you can support them to prepare our students for roles in our community.
