Covenant High School

Griffin Landon came to Covenant after attending The Cor Deo School for eight years. Throughout his time at Covenant High School, Griffin embraced the opportunities, friendships, and community that made his high school experience memorable. He quickly found a place where he could connect with classmates, teachers, and the broader Covenant community.

When reflecting on his favorite memories, Griffin finds it difficult to choose just one. From the Europe trip and the junior year production of Pride and Prejudice, to countless everyday moments with friends, his years at Covenant were filled with experiences he will always remember.

What Griffin appreciates most about CHS is the close knit community. “It’s not difficult to have friendly chats with anyone,” he shared. “You get to know people’s names, have friends across several classes, and the teachers are always willing to help.”

This fall, Griffin will attend Northwest University in Kirkland, where he plans to study Visual Design while pursuing a minor in Game Design. His passion for the field was strongly influenced by Miss Battle, whose classes helped him develop his creative skills and ultimately inspired his choice of major.

During his time at CHS, Griffin participated in Honor Society, Student Council, and Ambassadors, serving as head of publicity for Student Council during his senior year. He was also involved in the annual school play almost every year and has fond memories of playing Mr. Collins in Pride in Prejudice his junior year.

Looking back, Griffin credits Covenant with helping him build a strong intellectual foundation for his faith through classes, discipleship groups, conversations with peers, and meaningful readings that shaped his spiritual growth.

His advice to incoming students is simple. He says that though high school is challenging at times, “there’s always something good to find in every day and in the people you meet at CHS. Don’t skip out on opportunities, try everything.”

We congratulate Griffin on his graduation and look forward to seeing how God uses his creativity and talents!

Before joining Covenant High School Jane Aune attended The Cor Deo School. When choosing a high school, she was drawn to Covenant’s authentic Christian culture and strong reputation for helping students thrive both academically and personally.

Throughout her four years at Covenant, she embraced every opportunity to get involved. A three year member of the cross country team, four year drama participant, Honor Society member, and Student Council leader, she fully invested herself in the Covenant community. During her senior year, she had the privilege of serving as Student Body President.

One of the aspects Jane loves most about Covenant is the opportunity to lead. Through Student Council, leading worship band practices, and serving in various leadership roles, she discovered more about herself while developing valuable skills that will serve her well in the future.

This fall, Jane will attend Grove City College to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher. Inspired by the educators who helped shape her own love of learning, she hopes to invest in the next generation through classical education. “Educating a child in truth is the greatest, most empowering, life altering gift I could possibly give,” she shared.

When reflecting on how Covenant prepared her for life after high school, she points to her Apologetics class as especially impactful. Through thoughtful study and discussion, she gained confidence in understanding and defending her faith. “Since then, I have been prepared to give a defense to anyone who asks for the hope that is within me.”

We are grateful for Jane’s leadership, faith, and commitment to choosing joy, and we look forward to seeing how God continues to work through her in the years ahead. Congratulations, Jane!

Over the summer, we will be highlighting stories from some of our seniors as they reflect on their time at Covenant High School. We will share their post graduate plans as well as how their time at Covenant has helped prepare them for the future. We are excited to celebrate their accomplishments and the unique paths they are each taking after graduation!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

We are incredibly proud of our graduated seniors and all they have accomplished during their time at Covenant. As they embark on the next chapter of their lives, we are praying for God’s guidance, wisdom, and blessing over each of them.

As Pastor Le reminded us during commencement, our prayer is that wherever life takes them, they will always remember their true identity in Christ and remain grounded in His love and truth.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We can’t wait to see how the Lord works through you in the years ahead.

Yesterday we celebrated our students school achievements at our annual awards ceremony! One student from each grade and subject was recognized for their accomplishments.

Our yearbook students also shared the senior slideshow, highlighting memories of the Class of 2026 during their years at Covenant. To end the ceremony, Principal Wendy Tamminga announced this year’s Valedictorian, Riley Jennison, and Salutatorian, Lydia Moore.

Our students amaze us daily with their commitment to excellence, their perseverance, and their desire to honor the Lord in all they do. We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate each of them!

We celebrated National Decision Day with our seniors a few weeks ago and now we've made it to graduation week! We look forward to watching the Lord work in each of their lives and are so proud of all the hard work they have done at Covenant High School. We will miss them!

We look forward to the alumni singing Non Nobis each year, and this year’s performance was especially meaningful. Our beloved choir teacher, Mrs. Melissa McMillan, is retiring, making it all the more special to see alumni and current students standing side by side under her direction one last time. Melissa has impacted so many lives through her dedication and love for music, and she will be dearly missed at Covenant High School!

Our art students showcased their work at the Art Show last Friday! Our art teacher, Miss Battle, continues to encourage her students to keep pursuing art and try new art mediums. We are proud of our students for honoring the Lord with their talents!
