The ideal candidate will be an active practicing Catholic and a dedicated educator who is excited at the prospect of working as an integral member of the middle school development team. This will require capacity for flexibility and creative thinking. Preferred candidates will have 6th-8th grade level certification and experience teaching religion and social studies, though all interested parties are invited to apply.

The school is looking for teachers who utilize current, effective, research-proven strategies to plan, teach, monitor progress and report performance, who use data to drive instructional decisions to increase academic outcomes in all students, and who employ culturally sensitive, responsive, and sustaining practices. The school is seeking a teacher that will adhere to rigorous academic standards and expectations, holding the bar high for all students.

The applicant must respect and be willing to teach the tenets of the Catholic faith and be willing to follow all Diocese of Yakima and St. Joseph Catholic School policies and procedures, and demonstrate commitment to providing and maintaining a welcoming, safe, loving, and nurturing environment, consistent with Gospel values.

This teacher must embrace the core components of servant leadership, treating all students, staff, parents, and stakeholders with dignity, compassion and respect in both action and all forms of communication, and maintain a commitment to working positively, professionally, and collaboratively with colleagues, students, parents, and stakeholders toward the mission of the school and Church, fostering faith, excellence, and service.
