Job Description
Job DescriptionSt. Luke's School, a secular (non-religious), college-preparatory day school serving grades 5 through 12, seeks a dynamic, inspiring Librarian and English Teacher. This individual will teach two sections of 8th grade English as well as the 6th grade Library class in addition to partnering with the Library Director in leading programming, collaborating with teachers, and working with individual students.

Each section of English 8 meets 4 times per week for 45 minutes.
