High School English Teacher

Form men and women for and with others. Inspire critical thinkers. Champion measurable growth.

Cristo Rey Jesuit High School is hiring! At our Jesuit Catholic high school, we seek a dynamic part-time 12th grade English teacher who will accompany seniors in their intellectual, moral, and spiritual development. Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis (care for the whole person), you will instruct engaging, rigorous lessons that invite students to encounter great works of literature, reflect deeply, and express themselves with clarity and purpose.

We are looking for an educator who is equally committed to excellence and equity--someone who sees data as a vital tool for discernment. By using assessment and student performance data to inform instruction, you will personalize learning, close achievement gaps, and ensure every student is prepared for college, career, and a life of meaning and service.

You will thrive in this role if you believe that teaching is both a vocation and a craft--where data illuminates the path forward, relationships anchor the work, and every lesson contributes to forming compassionate, reflective leaders.

CRJHS serves a student body that is 98% Latino/Latina/Latine or Black. We believe student success is strengthened when educators bring diverse lived experiences, cultural competence, and a commitment to representation in the classroom, which also aligns with our Catholic mission and values. Educators from backgrounds historically underrepresented in teaching and those committed to culturally responsive instruction are strongly encouraged to apply.

This part-time position offers a flexible schedule and includes teaching three sections of 12th grade English. In addition to classroom instruction, the teacher will actively participate in weekly grade-level and department meetings, as well as collaborate in interdepartmental initiatives.

This position is benefits-eligible, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and a 401(k) retirement plan.

• Design and implement standards-based curriculum aligned with Cristo Rey Network benchmarks. Use formative and summative data to adjust instruction and close learning gaps. Deliver rigorous, culturally responsive lessons that differentiate for student needs.
• Provide targeted tutoring and academic support during office hours.
• Foster a classroom culture grounded in cura personalis and PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Support) principles. Participate in regular coaching cycles using the Danielson Framework.

• Participate in continued professional development.
• Collaborate with colleagues in a range of contexts and contribute to the Cristo Rey community outside of classroom responsibilities.
• Partner with the full Cristo Rey community to further the mission as a college preparatory school.
