Capital High School (Santa Fe, New Mexico)

Capital High School (CHS) Is a Public High School in the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its mascot, the jaguar, and its colors, Turquoise Blue, Silver and Black, were selected by the parents and prospective students after several public meetings held before the school opened in 1988. The Jaguar mascot and the turquois blue, silver and black colors were then adopted by the school board in 1987. Some confusion about the team colors arose with the creation of the Jacksonville Jaguar professional football team in 1995. The professional team selected teal green, silver and black as their team colors. Occasionally, people confuse the colors of the professional team as those of the high school.

Even the New Mexico Activities Association incorrectly identifies the team's colors as including teal green instead of the correct turquois blue. However, the correct colors including turquois blue may be noted on the NMAA website, the school apparel, and the school logo.

The High School opened in the fall of 1988. It was built to resemble the old Capital Complex building better known as the Bataan Memorial building located in downtown Santa Fe.
