|||
* Secretary of Finance |
|||
* Secretary of Rallies and Renaissance |

* Secretary of Publicity |
|||
* Senior Class President |
|||
* General Secretary and Historian |
|||
The President and Vice-President are elected by the entire student body at the end of the school year, while the rest of the cabinet is appointed by the incumbent Presidents and Activities Director. Covina's executive cabinet meets regularly with their South Hills and Northview counterparts. |
|||
Covina's activities director and ASB advisor is Erin Dominguez-Riley, and the program is co-led by Michele Directo as the director of finance. |

As a result of the mass-shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School in Parkland, FL, a committee of students was formed to call for safer schools and to allow students to peacefully protest on March 14th. This movement became extremely popular at Covina and inspired other nearby schools to form similar committees. The movement was led by students Joel Hernandez, Melissa Calderwood, and Bailey Magana. |
|||
On March 14th, more than 200 students <ref>https://www.sgvtribune.com/2018/03/14/covina-high-was-part-of-the-national-student-walkouts-but-media-were-barred-from-covering/</ref> peacefully walked-out onto the school's athletic field in solidarity with the MSD victims. In attendance was Covina mayor Jorge Marquez, Chief of Covina PD John Curley, and Covina-Valley USD assistant superintendent Elizabeth Eminhizer. |
