SxceCCeace “Academics are the most important classes given in any high school, said Mr. Mitchell, Covington High School Principal. Whether you are a senior or a freshman, academics are important. These classes prepare you for the more difficult college courses, and for that job right after graduation. Not many students think about academic classes until it's too late. Covington High School offers an academic, as well as a graduate diploma and the difference is tremendous, especially if college is on your mind. The academic diploma signifies that you have gone that extra step to work harder than the rest. Academics prepare you for college and for your future, said Senior Sharon Hickman.
