As we approach the end of the semester, I know our students are eagerly anticipating a well-deserved two-week Winter Break. Before we head into the holiday season, we have an exciting week of events after school.

We are just two weeks away from winter break, and I want to take a moment to thank all the parents who came out to support the Theater Holiday Show and those who attended our CAC meeting on Wednesday. Your continued support makes all the difference in building a strong Covington community.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving week, filled with time spent with family and friends, delicious food, fellowship, and football! As we return, it’s hard to believe we only have three weeks until winter break, but this is the season of excitement and activity.

Tomorrow is Veterans Day, a day dedicated to recognizing and commemorating those who have bravely served and sacrificed to protect our country. This past Wednesday, we honored their commitment and expressed our deepest gratitude during Covington's annual Veterans Day Assembly. Our Fine Arts Department and students performed beautifully, celebrating veterans throughout our community. Thank you to all who were part of this special event, and a heartfelt thanks to the parents who attended or volunteered.

Thank you to all the parents who supported and donated to the Fall Friendzy! It was a tremendous success, and your children truly enjoyed themselves Friday night.

To say the last week and a half has been challenging for our students, parents, faculty, staff, and the entire Covington community is an understatement. However, in the face of these difficulties, our faculty and staff have remained steadfast, our students have demonstrated immense courage, and you, the community, have shown an incredible level of support. I could not be more proud of how we have come together during these times. Let’s continue to support and uplift one another as we move forward through the school year.

Your input is important to us.

Thank you to all the parents who came out to the CAC meeting on Wednesday night. I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen, understand how our processes work, and engage in the open conversation about recent events at Covington. I understand that the past few weeks have raised concerns, but after addressing your questions and providing detailed responses, I believe there is now a greater understanding.

As we wrap up week 4, I’m proud to say we are in the full swing of the school year. The atmosphere at Covington feels different—better—than it has been since I first arrived two years ago. This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our incredible faculty and staff, who have been instrumental in supporting and guiding me in my leadership. I also want to acknowledge the unwavering support from our parents and students throughout the Covington community. Together, we’re creating a positive and thriving environment.

Covington Connection, September 9th-13th, 2024

Another week down, and we are in full swing for this school year! I’d like to extend a big thank you to the parents who attended our first Campus Advisory Council (CAC) meeting on Wednesday afternoon. We had meaningful discussions about the new Campus Improvement Plan, our goals for this year, and reflections on both our progress and challenges from last year. Your feedback is invaluable, and I truly appreciate the honest and open conversations.
