Covenant History

CCS was formed in 1982 under the original name of Conroe Bible Christian School.  The name was changed to Covenant Christian School in 1983 in an effort to appeal to a broader segment of the Christian community.  For the first eighteen years, the school functioned as a ministry of Conroe Bible Church and used the CBC facilities as its campus.  The school has always been governed by an independent Board of Trustees, comprised of parents and at least one member of the elder or deacon boards of CBC as one of several "sponsoring churches" from the local community.  The student body comes from many different parts of Montgomery, Walker, San Jacinto, and Liberty counties.  The school families currently represent approximately twelve denominations and more than fifty local churches.

For eighteen years the school was located at 1202 Callahan Avenue, adjacent to Conroe's largest public park (Candy Cane Park) and directly across from the Conroe Recreation Center.  The students enjoyed the privilege of being able to use both these facilities, including the ballparks, tennis courts, and gymnasium.

During its first year, Covenant Christian School used makeshift classrooms located in the back of the CBC sanctuary.  In 1984, the school moved into a spacious new educational facility located behind the church.  The church also utilized this building, referred to as the Christian Education Building or C.E. Building, for Sunday school and other church functions.  In 1988, two portable buildings, Heritage Hall and Tucker Hall, were donated and moved onto the campus.  In 1995, another portable building, Providence Hall, was constructed on site.

In August of 2001, CCS relocated to a new, 42,000 square foot facility north of Conroe on Interstate 45.  The building, which is located on a thirty-five acre campus, currently houses students in Pre-k through twelfth grades.  However, the long-range plan calls for a second building, which will serve the elementary grades.  When completed, the new facility will provide a comprehensive educational program for 800 students.
