Welcome to all who are interested in careers in Catholic schools as teachers, substitute teachers, or staff. We invite those interested in the vocation of Catholic education to join a community of dedicated teachers, staff, and parents. Together, we educate the children and youth in our care during their most formative years. Students discover that their greatest potential is not reflected simply by high test scores but at the intersection of their God-given gifts, their desire to learn, and service to others. As we serve and teach in Jesus’ name, students receive a strong spiritual foundation and an education that guides them for the rest of their lives.

If you are interested in applying for a position at a specific school, please follow the instructions on the job posting below or reach out directly to the principal of the school(s). If you wish to be considered for a position at any of our schools, you may complete the Office of Catholic Schools Application and submit with a resume and cover letter to the Pastoral Center/Office of Catholic Schools. While the Office of Catholic Schools does not do the direct hiring of school positions (interviewing and hiring of personnel is handled at each local school level), we do keep a file of applicants and distribute those to schools as positions become available.

(Physical address and email address are noted at the top of the application.)
