Cedric Maddox, Principal

Covington Middle School and Fine Arts Academy Family Colts and Future Colts, I am ecstatic to be the new Principal of Covington Middle School and join this community!

Thank you for taking time to stop by the school’s website and learn about the many things happening at Covington Middle School. Throughout the website, you will be able to find the most up to date information and current events.

Although I am new to Austin ISD, I have gained tremendous experience and knowledge in my 19 years with the School Board of Broward County. After graduating from Auburn University in 2003, I began teaching science at Plantation Middle School. In 2010, I became an assistant principal at Arthur Ashe Middle School. Throughout my years as an administrator,

I worked within diverse schools, garnered strong relationships from all stakeholders, and supported communities with different needs. My last 5 years were at Parkway Middle School of the Performing and Visual Arts, the only middle school in Broward with a top tier caliber performing arts program within the district.

My commitment as principal is to ensure every student at Covington Middle is surrounded and supported by caring professionals committed to propelling them to their highest potential and beyond. In addition, I will communicate the most current information to you, providing the opportunity to participate and support your child’s growth throughout the year. If you have concerns, do not hesitate to reach out. I look forward to a wonderful and successful school year!
