About Us

The HR Department partners with District leadership to recruit, develop, and support a talented workforce dedicated to meeting the needs of all students. Developing a community that welcomes and respects the differences among us, the department strives to hire and retain high-quality educators and provide supervision, evaluation, and a systemic, focused plan for professional growth that improves student experiences.

We believe that our students deserve to learn from educators who reflect their backgrounds and life experiences, and we want our staff to reflect the wide range of student identities we seek to serve. To this end, our District is committed to increasing the diversity of our certified educators and leaders.  We believe that by building a more representative workforce, our students will have better outcomes and be more prepared for an increasingly diverse world.  We encourage the following to apply: candidates of color, individuals with diverse life experiences and non-traditional backgrounds, and allies in our diversity, equity, and inclusion work.
