The story about the dedication,1906

“The school was built as Mother of God Elementary and remained so until 1962 when it closed. Also housed Covington Catholic from 1925-1955, Covington Latin School for one year in the 1920s, Villa Madonna College (1957-1967) and Good Counsel School for the disabled (1962-1971). The building had a beautiful auditorium, marble stairways and stained glass windows. A sad loss when it was torn down in the 1970s.Dave Schroeder, writing on Facebook
