The House program is an influential part of student life at the Hickory Campus. Born in 2014 out of a collaboration with faculty and student leaders, the vision of the group was to build a program that would enrich the student life experience while fulfilling the mission of the school to deepen community both internally and with our neighbors in the community.

In a variety of ways—but ultimately through relationships—students are engaged into the positive community of House. From summer House picnics, to competitions at Rockbridge, to House Day activities like The Amazing House Race and House Talent Shows, to monthly intramurals and activities, to serving together at nonprofit organizations, to Friday House Devotions, students are invited to get to know one another. The goal of all of our House initiatives is that every member of our student community will feel a deep sense of belonging and value at The Covenant School.
