About Us:
Coventry High School is located in the scenic and historic community of Coventry, Connecticut. Spread over 37 square miles of woods and old farmlands, the town of 11,500 offers historic sites, herb farms and shops, antique and specialty shops, public beaches and a state boat launch on Lake Wangumbaug, good places to eat, and several cozy bed-and-breakfast inns.
History:
This district was formed and ground broken for a major portion of our present school building in 1956. Classes started on September 6, 1956. In 1970, an addition was completed which provided the existing technology education wing, the art area, a new library, and an auxiliary gymnasium and locker room facility. In 2001, a second renovation of the high school facility began and was substantially completed in the fall of 2002. The school colors are green and gold, and our athletic teams are known as the Patriots, in honor of the American patriot - and Coventry native son - Nathan Hale.
Mission:
Our community believes in preparing students to become life-long learners by providing a challenging environment that supports the development and use of concepts, knowledge, skills, and ethics that meet the expectations of the global, interdependent society of the 21st century.
