KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools seeks to grow the career and technical program at our high school by adding a CTE instructor to our team. We seek teachers who are comfortable teaching anatomy and physiology, health science, and/or a combination of science coursework to students who are in years one through three of their CTE track in health science. Success will be measured by students gaining industry certification(s) at the end of their program.

The CTE teachers would ensure students are exposed to rigorous and foundational health science material and can meet the state’s industry certification examination requirements.
