Covenant Christian High School began in 1995 as a group of 16 freshmen meeting in the basement of Chapel Rock Christian Church on the west side of Indianapolis. Groundbreaking for the construction of a separate school building started in 1996 after a financial endowment from the locally based industrial technology firm Lastech. In 1997, the first classes were held in the building and the initial class graduated in 1999.
