Covington City School

The old Female College building served the City of Covington public school system until 1896, when a new building replaced the old structure. At the turn of the century, measures to improve public education began, including a nine-month term, a requirement that teachers pass state examinations, a broadened curriculum, and the addition of the 11th grade. An auditorium was constructed in 1909. This site served Covington students until the City and County school systems were consolidated in 1947. The last senior class graduated from Covington High School in 1949, and the elementary school moved to E. L. Ficquett in 1957.
