Description

Description At St. Rose, we believe that “we are always learning.” Our belief is inspired by the great artist Michelangelo, who at the dawn of his very accomplished life, wrote that he believed he still had so much more to learn. At the heart of our core values is the belief that every member of our community is a learner and no matter how young or old you are, or how much education you might have, we all have much more to learn. Learning allows our minds and souls to be set free to discover what is true, beautiful, and good in the world. This is the essence of an excellent Catholic education and as we are reminded by St. John Paul II, “this transmits a comprehensive vision of life…that liberates students in the most profound meaning of human freedom,” (Address to US Bishops May 30, 1998). Are you ready to bring your professional talents and Catholic faith together to make a true difference in the world? Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Academy is seeking a hands-on, mission-driven Middle School Theology and History teacher to join our community and lead with a Catholic worldview, viewing education as a sacred calling to participate in God’s creative work, fostering environments where students can fulfill their God-given potential and contribute to the common good.
