Former teacher and principal Randy Dennis has been appointed as the head of Covington Latin School, the first leader to assume the role since the school affiliated with Thomas More University in March.
A committee consisting of members of both institutions concluded its search for school head earlier this month, and Dennis will assume his new role on July 1.
“I am thrilled to welcome Randy Dennis as Head of School for Covington Latin School,” said Thomas More University President Joseph L. Chillo in a press release. “As an experienced and visionary educational leader, Dennis is uniquely suited to lead Covington Latin into a new era. I look forward to Dennis’ collaborative efforts to create a future-focused vision for Covington Latin School, while honoring the traditions of academic excellence and faith-filled formation that define the Covington Latin School community.”
Dennis formerly served as the principal of St. Lawrence Catholic School in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Prior to that he worked as a teacher at South Dearborn Community Schools for 17 years. He holds a Master of Arts degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Saint Mary.
“It is a great honor to lead such a historic institution as Covington Latin School,” Dennis said in the same release. “As head of school, I will do everything I can to fulfill its mission that is so deeply rooted in Catholic education and excellence.”
