Our district represents a rich mosaic of cultures, backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences; we value and celebrate that diversity in everything we do.

As an academically rigorous and human-centered district, we are committed to fostering a welcoming environment where every student and staff member feels seen, heard, and valued. There is no "typical" Hopkins student, and we embrace this truth as a catalyst for innovation, growth, and equity in learning. We seek educators and staff who are equity-minded, culturally responsive, and deeply committed to creating inclusive spaces where all learners can thrive.

We welcome candidates who are passionate about dismantling systemic barriers, advancing justice, and preparing students to become bold, collaborative, and compassionate global citizens. When you join Hopkins Public Schools, you are not just joining a district, you are becoming part of a community that honors difference, nurtures potential, and inspires remarkable achievement in every learner, from birth through graduation.

Hopkins Public Schools and VirtualEDU's vision is to hire and retain a community of staff who are representative of our student demographics. We are committed to developing pathways for individuals with diverse life experiences and linguistic backgrounds to enter, feel connected and supported in, and thrive as integral members of our education team. Individuals with diverse life experiences and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

We are building a community of educators who are up for the challenge of reimagining how we do school from the ground up. It won't be easy, but it will be rewarding. An ideal candidate would have a tendency to reject the status quo and a strong desire to tinker and reinvent our learning models. They would understand the role systematic racism and oppression plays in education and are committed to taking an anti-biased, anti-racist approach in all functions and interactions.

They would thrive in a small community where each member is a leader and an influencer towards 'living out loud' our collective commitments. While we are a virtual community, this role does report in person to foster a strong sense of community and organic collaboration.
