Capital City Public Charter School

We are now featuring Lola, who is another Capital City senior heading to where she plans to study Biology!

Lola joined Capital City her freshman year, and has a sister who graduated with the Capital City Class of 2022 — Reyna. 

She said the two community values that inspire her the most: Integrity and Self-Discipline. “I look at them as a package deal,” Lola shared. “You can’t be an honest person without having a little bit of discipline to hold yourself accountable."

What a night! 📚✨ Our Lower School Literacy Night brought families, students, and staff together for books, crafts, and BIG smiles. Students took part in a read-aloud of "A Hero Looks Like You" from author (and brother of Literacy Specialist Dr. Mbalia!) Kwame Mbalia. Participants received books and bookmarks to take home, made hero capes, played sentence dominoes, and crafted letter bracelets.

Thank you to all of the staff who made this event possible! 💙💛

P.S. — Capital City was recently awarded a Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) four-grant, $4-million grant through the Office of the State Superintendent to provide high-quality literacy coaching and training for our Kindergarten-5th grade teachers and staff. 🌟

Today, we want you to meet Elizabeth! She has been at Capital City for 10 years — since 3rd grade! Next year, she will attend Trinity Washington University to study Biology. Elizabeth has an older sibling, Capital City Class of 2023 alum Madelin, and a younger sister, Vanessa, currently in 3rd grade.

“College is extremely expensive,” shared Elizabeth. “Knowing that the school I’ve been at for so long is willing to support us with the Community Values Scholarship makes me feel really great.”

Meet Anthony A. — a Capital City senior headed to UDC with plans to transfer to American University in two years for Business Administration. “I believe the reason many people don’t go to college is the money,” he shared. “It’s a good feeling to know we have this school community that is willing to actually participate in this and give us the money that we need.”
