Project Description

On behalf of The Covenant School Board of Directors, we are excited to announce today that Bradley Baggett has been appointed the new Head of School effective no later than July 1, 2022.

Brad is an accomplished Head of School, a strong and compassionate leader, and a man of God. He has over 13 years of experience as a Head of School. Brad has a strong track record of academic excellence and successful fundraising activity. It is clear he aligns with Covenant’s mission and educational philosophy of the Christian Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). In addition to his academic career, Brad served over 10 years as founding pastor for a church in Texas. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and earned a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

“Brad joins Covenant with a heart that is fixed firmly on Jesus,” said Mary Katherine Peters, Vice-Chair of the Covenant School Board. “He has a proven track record of leadership in Christian schools and is excited to take the helm of this extraordinary school and move us forward into this new season. The alignment was clear and we are thrilled to welcome him to the Covenant community.”
