Blue and gray are the school's colors. The cougar is the school's mascot and is shown "at the ready," alluding to the spirit and dedication of the cadets. The interlaced chevronels suggest the letters "W" and "V" indicating West Virginia, the home state of Capital High School.
The shoulder sleeve insignia was authorized 11 March 1994. (TIOH Drawing Number A-10J-333)
