Academic Success Program
Covington Catholic has built an Academic Succus Program that reaches each student where he is and challenges him to achieve more. We accomplish this through a three-pillar system made up of our Academic Success Courses, Academic Coaches and our teachers. By integrating tailored academic guidance, individualized mentorship, and diverse skill enhancement opportunities, this program ensures that students receive a well-rounded support system, nurturing not only their academic excellence but also their personal and professional growth.
