Welcome from
the Principal
It is my privilege as Principal to welcome you to Covenant High School! Our school motto and aspiration in all we do is “To Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever.” Covenant High School is a Christian, classical, college preparatory school serving students from a variety of churches throughout the South Sound.
I have had the delight of not only serving on the faculty at Covenant for ten years, but of seeing each of my four children graduate from CHS. Covenant feels like a family to me, and one of the greatest blessings my children gained was excellent instruction from sincere and intentional Christian teachers. The faculty model a delight in learning and a commitment to honoring Christ in all they do.
Teaching classically and emphasizing the cross-curricular approach means that students gain critical thinking skills that enable them to make connections with ancient and modern texts, preparing them to evaluate and engage with the world they live in. Teaching in light of the gospel as good news to fallen people means the students are grounded in a knowledge of their salvation by a loving and omnipotent God. Both things lead to our goal for our students, to love God and their neighbor by embracing salvation through Christ alone, striving for personal sanctification while pursuing God’s unique calling on their lives; ultimately, to enjoy Him forever!
At Covenant, we strive to instruct our students to read, think, and articulate themselves well, so that they may “shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life” (Philippians 2:15). I warmly invite you to come see what we are all about!
In Christ,
Mrs. Wendy Tamminga
Principal
