Introducing the New Covington Partners

In the fall of 2011, Covington Partners in Prevention undertook a rebranding initiative to help refresh the organization. Now known as Covington Partners, the organization not only has a new name but a new logo as well.

Designed in collaboration with Scott Bruno of b graphic design, the new logo visually signifies the work Covington Partners does to build bridges for the families and students of Covington Schools through education, prevention, mentoring, wellness and family engagement.

By working together, Covington Partners helps to strengthen these relationships in the Covington community to help every student succeed at the highest level possible.
