His path to education has been anything but conventional. After his military career, he served in higher education, district operations, and grants administration, eventually earning his doctorate in education. Along the way, he discovered that his true calling was in the classroom and in school leadership. When he encountered American Classical Academy Rutherford, he found a school whose mission of truth, virtue, and academic excellence matched everything he believes education should be. It is an honor for him to bring his background in leadership, operations, and instruction to serve this community as Assistant Head of School.<\/p><p><b>Why He Loves Working at a Hillsdale School:<\/b><\/p><p>He loves that a classical education forms the whole person, not just the mind. Every day he gets to work alongside dedicated teachers and families who believe their students are capable of great things, and who hold them to a standard worthy of their potential. Watching students wrestle with great books, master difficult content, and grow in character reminds him why this work matters.<\/p><p><b>Cita Cl\u00e1sica Favorita:<\/b><\/p><p>&#8220;The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.&#8221; \u2014 Plato<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48f8ead e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"48f8ead\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbeb51c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"fbeb51c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9dc5580 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"9dc5580\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cd7192f\" data-id=\"cd7192f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a80555f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a80555f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Una educaci\u00f3n cl\u00e1sica americana<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c924315 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c924315\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Nuestro plan de estudios hace especial hincapi\u00e9 en el lenguaje, las asignaturas ricas en contenido, una s\u00f3lida base de conocimientos fundamentales y una exploraci\u00f3n en profundidad del legado hist\u00f3rico, literario y cient\u00edfico tanto de Estados Unidos como de la civilizaci\u00f3n occidental.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c402634 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jkit_button\" data-id=\"c402634\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jkit_button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"jeg-elementor-kit jkit-button  icon-position-before jeg_module___6a89d5829fd84\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/rutherfordclassical.org\/es\/careers\/\" class=\"jkit-button-wrapper\" target=\"_blank\">SOLICITAR AHORA<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Thomas Covington Assistant Head of School Dr. Thomas Covington is a husband, uncle, and proud U.S. Army veteran with more than a decade of service.
