WHEREAS, the state of Louisiana, Department of Education has full charge of the future of the facilities and the operation of Capitol High school as an educational facility; and
WHEREAS, Capitol High School has been an integral part of the East Baton Rouge Parish public school system for over 60 years and thousands of citizens have benefited from academic achievement and cultural enhancements gained by attendance at Capitol high; and

• Create an innovative school where students acquire a rigorous academic foundation that can apply to the community and world around them in meaningful ways.

WHEREAS, we believe that the Vision of Capitol High School is necessary and requires the full support of the local citizens of East Baton Rouge and the City of Baton Rouge; in preparing students to function effectively in an interdependent global community.

Section II – The Alumni Association support the autonomy of Capitol High School through its principal, Mr. Roy Walker and controlling agency of state government, the Recovery School District.
