Welcome from the Head of School

A Word from Dr. Goodwin

It is my honor to serve this learning community as its third Principal and CEO. Having been a classroom teacher, a coach for two sports, the drama director, the World Languages Department Chair, the Academic Dean, and a relative of five Covenant graduates, I can attest to how special this place of becoming really is.

Covenant exists because of Christ and His Kingdom. Our founders placed words at our main entrance: "May all that happens in this building bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ." That means it is His school. We are its stewards.

As a Christ-centered learning community, our staff and faculty partner with families to follow Christ's example of meeting students where they are, helping them recognize that place as a starting point, and then challenging and guiding them to move forward in love of God and subsequent love of humankind.

Together, we believe being excellent is a good and proper response to Christ. We always fall short of His standard in our own humanness, yet we are adopted into His family by grace. That is the foundation on which everything here is built.

Grounded on this foundation, we are committed to engaging all subjects through the lens of a Christian worldview. Covenant's students have the opportunity to seek truth and find their passion through core classes, creative electives, advanced placement and dual credit courses, mission and academic trips, and career-exploring internships.

I look forward to welcoming your family in person.

For the Kingdom, Dr. Andy Goodwin  ·  Principal and CEO

Excellence That Reflects Our Calling

Exemplary Accreditation:
What That Means

At Covenant, excellence is not a pursuit. It is a response to the finished work of Christ, for the sake of our students and the world He's called us to impact.
