Huge congrats to Performing Arts Principal Jody Covington on getting a street named after her! It reflects the amazing work she’s done (and continues to do) at BPS, where she’s our longest-serving principal of Performing Arts. Having this all right in the area where she herself grew up and went to school is just the cherry on top!
Truly a BPS MVP!
