Latino Youth High School (LYHS) is a small charter school in Little Village serving young people ages 16 to 21 who left traditional school and are choosing to come back for their diploma. We’re hiring a science teacher who’s energized rather than daunted by that – someone who can make biology, forensic science, or physics click for students with a wide range of preparation, and who builds a classroom where kids who’ve experienced school as failure are willing to try again. The work is relationship-driven and the wins are hard-earned, but they’re real: students who cross the stage because someone met them where they were. If that’s the room you want to teach, let’s talk. Contact: James J. Hurlburt, jhurlburt@lyhs.org. 9/1 - Cristo Rey Jesuit High School – Head JV Coach for Girls Volleyball
