Position Description

About Covington

Covington Independent Public Schools (CIPS), one of Kentucky’s largest independent school districts, serves approximately 3,500 PreK–12 students across an early childhood education center, five elementary schools, one middle school, a comprehensive high school with vocational and alternative pathways, and an adult high school program. As home to Kentucky’s oldest public high school, CIPS carries a proud 200-year legacy of serving its community with excellence. Today, it serves a richly diverse student body—approximately one-third White, one-third Hispanic, and one-third Black—and is united by a deep belief in the brilliance of every child. 

About the Superintendent

Reporting to the five-member elected Board, the next Superintendent will lead Covington Independent Public Schools at a pivotal moment in its 200-year history. The next Superintendent will be called to lead with courage, humility, and vision—building on Covington’s strong foundation while boldly advancing a future where all students can dream, achieve, and succeed. This leader will honor the district’s pride, legacy, and diversity while working closely with staff, students, families, city leaders, and community partners to craft a clear vision for the future. The ideal candidate will join the district at a critical inflection point, where stakeholders are hungry for change and recognize that current approaches must evolve to deliver the results Covington students deserve.

This person will bring the PreK-12 educational leadership experience and cultural competence to address key challenges in academic performance and student success. They will build trust, deepen community confidence, and cultivate partnerships that expand access, elevate the district’s reputation, and position Covington Independent Public Schools as the first-choice option for all families in our community.
