The selected candidate has a real desire to contribute to the school community by sharing their passions and through additional efforts, such as coaching teams, directing clubs, and supervising activities. A strong sense of initiative and the willingness to serve as an integral part of continuing the development of a new program is essential for this educator.

Required qualifications include: an undergraduate degree in History or a related field (a Master’s would be highly valued), at least three years of middle school teaching experience, proficiency with technology, dedication to working cooperatively with other teachers to maintain and grow a strong middle school program, and robust interpersonal skills. In addition to honor and character, and commitment to intellectual engagement, especially important is the candidate’s demonstrated commitment to an inclusive school community.

• An undergraduate degree in History or a related field.
• Experience teaching at the middle school level, or relevant professional experience.
• Dedication to supporting the academic, social, and emotional well-being of all students.
• Strong interpersonal skills.
• Ability to articulate effectively the values and mission of Saint John’s High School and the Xaverian Brothers.
• Commitment to Catholic education.
• Knowledge of contemporary educational issues, topics, and trends, especially those impacting boys and young men.
• Dedication to partnering collaboratively with a team of talented faculty.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Skill in navigating the Google Suite of applications (Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, etc.).
• Experience with incorporating educational technology into the classroom.
• Commitment to including and encouraging all students from all backgrounds.
