About Presentation High School
Presentation High School is an independent Catholic college preparatory school for young women. We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and a close-knit professional community. We seek talented and innovative professionals who have a commitment to excellence and passion for our mission.
Position Summary
Presentation High School in San Jose, California is seeking a full-time and/or part-time ASL instructor to join the Modern Language Department in the 2023-2024 school year. Historically, we have allowed some students to take American Sign Language to fulfill their “language” requirement, but they have always had to pursue that option off campus. This year, we are looking to offer at least one level (and up to three) of American sign language on site.
Because this is the first time we might be offering the course(s), we are uncertain of the number of sections we might be able to offer. We are looking for an experienced, innovative teacher who is eager to build this course and program with us.
