Born in 1823 in Rhode Island, Covell was the son of Episcopal minister Reverend Joseph S. Covell and the grandson of Rhode Island Governor John Collins.
Covell attended Trinity College and graduated from the institution in 1847.
He was recommended as a candidate for Holy Orders in the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut and received the orders of a deacon.
Covell accepted a teaching position in the Deaf Department of the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind and relocated there in 1847.
Covell was made a vice- principal of the institution and given charge of the entire Deaf Mute Department in 1852.
During the American Civil War, Covell entered the Confederate States Army with the rank of major and served on the staff of Brigadier General Henry A. Wise.
Covell served on General Wise's staff only briefly before returning to the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind to serve as its principal in 1862, a position he held until 1872.
In 1874, Covell was selected to serve as the principal of the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind.
Under his leadership, the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind experienced" unprecedented success" and its student body began to grow due to his initiatives.
He served as the institution's principal until his death in 1887.
Covell was an active and prominent member of the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia and was appointed the first churchwarden of Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church in Romney.
