The goal is to provide motivated boys from underserved families in the Hartford area with an challenging learning environment and the tools to succeed in class and in life. Covenant Prep is tuition-free; private donations cover every expense. </p><p>Principal Meara Weaver says the focus here is simple. "We told them then the whole goal of you coming here to school is get you into a great high school and a great college, and they've had that in their minds from day one," says Weaver. For the past year, the 10 boys were put through the paces of SSAT test preparation, school tours, test taking and interviews at some of the best prep schools in New England. This month, they all learned their next destinations. </p> </div> Thu, 19 May 2011 13:23:05 -0400 http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/hartford-school-s-100-perce.html Covenant Prep Walks For Peace http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/covenant-prep-walks-for.html <div class="article-summary"> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"><!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img width="279" height="432" src="http://www.covenantprep.org/_Media/peace_walk_poster_med.jpeg" alt="peace walk poster" /><!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> </div><p><br /></p> </div> Thu, 12 May 2011 16:39:39 -0400 http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/covenant-prep-walks-for.html Linda and Evelyn Clark donated Easter bunnies for all the Students! http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/linda-and-evelyn-clark-dona.html <div class="article-summary"> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"><!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img width="640" height="640" src="http://www.covenantprep.org/_Media/untitled-8_med.jpeg" alt="" /><!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> </div> </div> Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:12:43 -0400 http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/linda-and-evelyn-clark-dona.html Winter Sports, Award Winners! http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/winter-sports-award-winners.html <div class="article-summary"> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"><!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img width="400" height="400" src="http://www.covenantprep.org/_Media/awardcp_med.jpeg" alt="" /><!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> <div style="" class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content caption"><p><font face="Perpetua"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></font></p> <font face="Perpetua"><p>Award Winners for Intramurlas:Most Improved: Alex ArangoBest Work Ethic: Al-Malik WilliamsBest Sportsmanship: Justin CruzAward Winners for Basketball:Varsity - Most Improved: Dwayne ThompsonBest Work Ethic: O'Neil Brown</p> <p>Best Sportmanship: Walter Lockhart</p> <p>JV - </p> <p>Most Improved: Shemar Laurent</p> <p>Best Work Ethic: Jalen Cruz</p> <p>Best Sportmanship: Destin Rodriquez</p> </font><p /> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 12 Apr 2011 11:26:38 -0400 http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/winter-sports-award-winners.html Family Fun Night!!! http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/family-fun-night.html <div class="article-summary"> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"><!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img width="640" height="457" src="http://www.covenantprep.org/_Media/ffun_med.jpeg" alt="" /><!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> </div> </div> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 12:00:34 -0400 http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/family-fun-night.html Save the Date for 2nd Annual Reach Far Dinner November 5, 2011 at the University of Hartford http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/save-the-date-for-2nd-annua.html <div class="article-summary"> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"><!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img width="640" height="448" src="http://www.covenantprep.org/_Media/picture_3_med.jpeg" alt="" /><!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> </div> </div> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:41:14 -0400 http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/save-the-date-for-2nd-annua.html Volunteer Spotlight Hats off to Sarael Sargent and the Secondary School Volunteers http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/volunteer-spotlight-hats-of.html <div class="article-summary"> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"><!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img width="146" height="141" src="http://www.covenantprep.org/_Media/draft3finalnewspdf_page_4_med.jpeg" alt="" /><!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> <div style="" class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content caption"><p><font face="Perpetua" size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></font></p> <font face="Perpetua" size="3"><p>By April we will know what schools the 8th graders will be attending. The process to get them enrolled in a secondary school started when Sarael Sargent and her team of volunteers started planning the secondary school placement process over a year ago. As the 8th graders were studying hard to take the secondary school admission test, families were meeting once a month to help understand the process. After the winter break students, families and the Secondary School Committee spent long hours filling out applications and financial forms with the goal in mind to get full scholarships. “ My favorite part of the process was working with the parents,” said Sarael. Stay tuned for updates on where our 8th graders are headed! A huge THANK YOU to Linda Alderman, Alice Brown, Julie Corroon, Kathanne Flower, Marilyn Glover, Michelle Gorman, Katie Zakreski, and Mary Russell.</p> </font><p /> </div> </div> </div> </div> Wed, 23 Mar 2011 08:54:56 -0400 http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/volunteer-spotlight-hats-of.html Johnny’s Jog for Charity, Inc to benefit four local non-profit organizations http://www.covenantprep.org/covenant-preps-news-center-2/johnnys-jog-for-charity-inc.html <div class="article-summary"> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"><!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img width="285" height="143" src="http://www.covenantprep.org/_Media/johnny_s_jog_med.jpeg" alt="" /><!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> <div style="" class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content caption"><p><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="line-height: 20px; color: windowtext;"><font face="Perpetua" size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;">The Johnny’s Jog 5K </span></font></span><font face="Perpetua" size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;">will begin and end at the West Hartford Town Hall. </span></font><span style="line-height: 20px; color: windowtext;"><font face="Perpetua" size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Participants are welcomed to Run, Walk, and Push Strollers or show support of the event with family and friends.
