Imagining Schools as Community Hubs

Covington Independent Public Schools

September 25, 2026

What if a school could serve as a gathering place long after the final bell?

At Covington Independent’s first In Pursuit of Excellence community forum, participants imagined schools where students learn during the day and families can connect with resources, services, and community partners beyond school hours. They pictured practical support, such as help with résumés and interviews, access to laundry facilities, and haircuts provided by local volunteers. At the heart of the idea was a simple goal: for every student and family to feel welcome and supported.

More than 50 parents, educators, community members, and partners gathered at John G. Carlisle Elementary School for the forum. Together, they considered three questions: 

What should we protect? What needs to improve? What could we imagine for the future?

“We want our schools to be the central hub for our community, where all students and families feel safe, valued, supported and welcomed during the school day, in the evenings and on the weekends,” said Tony Magner, Covington Independent’s director of federal programs.

Participants also imagined stronger connections between school and life after graduation. One proposed goal was for every Holmes High School senior to have a paid internship with a community partner, gaining work experience, professional skills, and a clearer sense of possible career paths.

The conversation was grounded in what families and students experience today. When asked what the district should protect, participants pointed to after-school programming. When asked what needs to improve, they emphasized academics and student outcomes. Their responses offered both a vision for the future and a reminder of the work that must happen now.

“It was a great opportunity to help build Covington Independent Public Schools. I enjoyed hearing from community partners and parents. I look forward to what the future brings,” said Sean Mendell, assistant director of the Behringer-Crawford Museum.

The first forum brought forward possibilities that the district will consider alongside feedback gathered throughout Superintendent Cortnei Flucas’ listening and learning period. The accompanying message from Superintendent Flucas explains how students, staff, families, and community members can continue to share their perspectives.
