HCHS is currently seeking a hard-working, passionate, and goal-oriented educator to join our team as a Life Science Teacher for the  school year.

Every HCHS teacher has the opportunity to join a team of motivated, mission-driven teammates who are committed to taking responsibility for their students' learning. Hiawatha teachers are charged with providing a rigorous, fast-paced, and inspiring learning environment for their students. In addition to leading courses in their content area, HCHS teachers are also advisors: adults committed to supporting a small group of students as they work to develop their academic and social‑emotional selves.

Advisors are critical in HCHS's model of student support, and those who stay for all four years of their advisees' high school career will have the amazing privilege of handing their advisees their diplomas and wishing them well as they head off to college. The Science Teacher will work under the guidance of the Instructional Leadership Team and in close collaboration with fellow classroom teachers and advisors.

HCHS students can take the following science courses:
Environmental Science, Chemistry, Physics, and AP Biology.
