High School Social Studies Teacher

Overview

The Cristo Rey Network of high schools delivers a career focused, college preparatory education in the Catholic tradition for students with limited economic resources, uniquely integrating rigorous academic curricula with four years of professional work experience and support to and through college. We partner with educators, businesses and communities to enable students to fulfill their aspirations for a lifetime of success.

Nothing is as important as a teacher and what goes on between a teacher and student, minute to minute, lesson to lesson, day to day. Teachers are the important element in any school– more important than good leadership, nice facilities, or class size.

We believe that teaching is:
