Principal's Message
Dear Covington Middle School Community,
As the fall break approaches, we extend our warmest wishes to our incredible parents and students. This upcoming holiday season, we encourage everyone to embrace the opportunity to immerse themselves in the joy of family, connect with friends, and relish the cherished moments of togetherness.
Take this time to create lasting memories and be grateful for the precious moments we share. Covington Middle School celebrates the spirit of gratitude and unity, encouraging all to enjoy this break and appreciate the bonds that enrich our lives.
Classes will resume on November 27th, and we eagerly anticipate our return, refreshed and ready to continue our journey of learning and growth together.
Wishing you all a joyful and rejuvenating break!
Warm regards,
Cedric Maddox
Proud Principal
Covington Middle School
