Mr. Jung is one of our newest administrators here at Covina High School. He got his B.S. in Biology and then got his M.A. in Science Education which drives him love for the STEM program.

Jung loves the family aspect that comes with our school being so small. He loves getting to know the students and loves to hear their stories, and he’d love for the students and faculty to get to know him as well.

When Jung was in high school, he was afraid to express himself. This is why he's always encouraging the students here to do so now. He failed his freshman year and got caught up with some influences that didn't let him be academically successful. Those influences almost made Jung drop out of high school. However, he found help in his guidance counselors and they put him back on the right track. Jung was able to them find himself again. He was even able to follow his dreams and attend USC and received his doctorate in Educational Leadership. Jung is now happily married to his beautiful wife and states that “his children are all the students of Covina High.”

He made a lot of mistakes in high school, but he worked hard to correct them and wants his students to understand that: “People make mistakes, and it’s ok! Everyday is a new day.” He is here to support every single student here at Covina. More than anything he wants us to succeed and enjoy high school.
