we need

Rockbridge Area Public Schools have a diverse student population, but lack educators of color.

 

Diversifying school systems creates a strong, positive, and lasting impact on students of all backgrounds.

ARE YOU A TEACHER OF COLOR?

We are a vibrant community, with three fully accredited school systems, various community organizations, and a goal to ensure our towns and worlds are inclusive places.

 

Each district has their own job board and subsequent hiring process. We welcome you to review and apply to available positions in each.
