Covington Catholic High School, now known nationwide after its students were involved in an encounter with Native American and Black Hebrew activists on Jan. 18 in Washington, closed for safety reasons on Jan. 22.

Due to the federal Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, Tuesday would have been the first day back for students following the encounter.
