The PTSA is increasing it's membership with new families each day providing a positive influence on the school. The Community is really rallying behind Covington High.

They do not tolerate discipline problems. This is the one high school in St. Tammany that is growing and improving daily. I would not hesitate to send my child to Covington High! Read less
