Covenant Day School

Put your game face on—it’s time for flag football! 🏈 After an exciting first season, we’re pumped to kick off this year’s 7x7 flag football for all 1st–6th grade boys.🌟 Join our Varsity Football players and coaches for a chance to improve your football skills and shine under the Friday Night Lights! Check Lions Weekly for more information and register by noon on December 1.

Science comes to life at Covenant Day! 🧬 At the high school level, our four advanced science labs and makerspace provide students with spaces that facilitate hands-on learning experiences that go beyond the ordinary. High school students view the microscopic world with high-powered microscopes, grow bacteria in incubators, manipulate DNA to make bacteria glow, and track enzyme reactions with spectrophotometers. These unique opportunities ignite a passion for learning and exploring God’s creation!

These robots might have gears, but these students have the brains—and the heart to make them go! During Create Jr. today, our 6th graders took on the challenge of programming robots to navigate through a LEGO town they designed—using distance sensors and bumper switches to guide the way. A hands-on lesson in problem-solving and creativity!

Students, faculty, and families gathered for a special Veterans Day assembly this morning. Our guest speaker—board member, CDS dad, and Air Force veteran Josh Grissom—left the CDS community with two important charges: to honor and thank veterans who have defended our Constitution and freedoms and to live a life of service to God and neighbor wherever we are called. Today, we express our deepest gratitude to the veterans who have courageously served our country.🇺🇸

Our 8th-grade history students set off on an Egyptian excursion cruising up the Nile River 🌊, led by Ohio Broadus, aka Mr. Broadus. They dove into the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian culture, history, and daily life—uncovering the mysteries of this incredible civilization. 🏺✨

“Through Mock Trial, I have grown in my faith, confidence, public speaking, and critical thinking skills. I have always felt welcomed at Mock trial.” Audrey, Senior Mock Trial Student

Covenant Day offers Mock Trial for high school students, which gives hands-on experience with the legal process. Students research the facts of cases, develop arguments, practice public speaking, and learn to think on their feet as they respond to objections or questions.

Our Mock Trial students have been busy preparing for November’s upcoming trials! Are you interested in seeing them in action or serving on the jury? See Lions Weekly for details!

We have lots to cheer about, as many of our fall athletes received awards for their hard work and achievements during the season! Head over to to see these athletes and their well-earned awards.

Campus was bursting with pumpkin 🎃 fun today! First graders cracked the case of the missing pie, counted by tens with pumpkin seeds, and built their very own pumpkin boats. Meanwhile, high schoolers got in on the action, enjoying pie and launching pumpkins during community time. 🍂

“I think the community feel we experienced as CDS parents has only increased as I’ve become a faculty member. It has been great to engage with parents and see their desire to partner with faculty to help their children grow.”

Meet HS Bible teacher Jason Haas! Jason has a rich and varied career experience. He has a background in wilderness ministry and holds a BS in Outdoor Education from Montreat College. After earning a Master of Divinity from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, he served as a pastor for 14 years before entering the restaurant business, where he currently owns the White Duck Taco Shop in Matthews. When he’s not serving up tacos, he enjoys teaching scripture in the classroom.

Jason and his wife, Anna, have four kids and stay very busy with soccer games. When asked what he likes to do in his free time, he said, “Freetime? What is that? If I did have some free time, I would go mountain biking in the mountains with family or friends.”

FUN FACT: Jason’s dad was in the Air Force and was raised in Germany, Turkey, and California. He came to the States when he was 12.

A round of applause for the talented middle school cast of Matilda Jr. on last week’s outstanding shows! The touching message highlighted the invaluable role of great teachers and celebrated the joys of childhood.
