School officials: CovCath closed until police say to reopen, investigation to begin this week

COVINGTON, Ky. —
The Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School officials provided an updated statement Tuesday regarding the recent controversy surrounding videos showing Covington Catholic students in an encounter with Native Americans at a rally near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Officials said Covington Police alerted them Monday, telling them they had been made aware of a planned protest at Covington Catholic High School and a vigil at the Diocesan Curia.

Officials said due to threats of violence and the possibility of large crowds Tuesday, the Diocese was advised to close Covington Catholic High School, the Diocesan Curia and neighboring Covington Latin School.


Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School officials said a third-party investigation is planned to start this week into the incident and videos involving Covington Catholic students, Nathan Phillips and Hebrew Israelites.
