We welcome applicants who will actively contribute to our ongoing commitment to making MMSD a thriving, welcoming environment for all students, families, and staff.

The Madison Metropolitan School District is committed to being anti‑racist, culturally responsive, and inclusive. Our strategy is captured in our strategic framework, and centers on three major goals: that all children achieve academically, that our schools are places where children and adults thrive, and that our Black youth excel at school.

The Madison Metropolitan School District serves a beautifully diverse population of more than 25,000 students, more than half of whom are students of color, almost half from low‑income households, and nearly one third are English Language Learners. More than 100 languages are represented in our schools. Madison schools are committed to making this district a place where every child thrives.
