Cape Central High School

What Cape Central High School does

Cape Central High School is part of Cape Girardeau Public Schools, a public school district headquartered at 301 North Clark Street, Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The district delivers free Pre-Kindergarten through 12th-grade public education to families residing within the district boundary, funded through local tax revenue, state funding, and federal programs. It operates multiple schools including Cape Central High School, and runs supporting programs such as the ASCENT High School Program, Cub Club after-school program, Parents As Teachers (PAT), Special Education, Gifted Education, English as a Second Language (ESL), Nutrition Services, and Transportation.

The district's technology footprint is modest and operational rather than product-led: it runs an Apptegy-hosted district website (capetigers.com), a mobile app available on iOS and Android, and manages internal systems through a Technology Department staffed by Supervisors of Information Systems, Network Infrastructure, System/Deployment, and Systems/Web. Curriculum delivery relies on standard K-12 instructional models, with no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML systems, APIs, or commercial software product disclosed in the input data.

As a government entity, Cape Girardeau Public Schools is governed by an elected School Board led by Board President Paul Cairns, with Board Vice President Kristal Fish Flentge, and administered by Superintendent Howard Benyon, CFO Lindsey Dudek, Deputy Superintendent Brice Beck, and additional Assistant Superintendents overseeing Academic Services, Support Services, and Special Services. The district generates no revenue from tuition; its funding flows from local property taxes, Missouri state aid, and federal programs such as ESSA.
