Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School is a diocesan secondary school serving 320 students and is located in San Luis Obispo, CA. Founded in 1926, the school enjoys thriving programs and a highly regarded academic reputation, largely resulting from a qualified and experienced faculty, a supportive parent community, and motivated students – all of whom work in partnership within our distinctive culture of care and accountability.

Professional educators at MCP are aligned to a common purpose, a common mission: to illuminate, form, and ignite the God-given potential in each student.  We educate the whole person—mind, body, and spirt—and ours is a community where every student is ‘known’ by the faculty and staff.  MCP educators value and participate in the co-curricular life of the school and support its mission by modeling an engaged and lively faith. We are partnership-minded in our collaborations with colleagues and in our communications with parents.

MCP English teachers use a variety of techniques in the classroom, and are comfortable integrating technology into the curriculum. MCP uses CANVAS as our virtual classroom so experience in CANVAS (or other online Learning Management Systems) is a requisite skill. The school expects candidates to have an ability to use differentiated instruction and who has a background in curricular and pedagogical innovation. Responsibilities for this position also include collaboration and full participation in an English department to ensure excellent scope and sequence, as well as participation in a professional, Catholic school-wide learning community.

This candidate will have English teaching experience, will be qualified to teach students in 9th through 12th grade, will be versed in academic areas including American Literature, World Literature, British Literature, and Contemporary Literature. The ideal candidate will also have experience with honors and AP courses.
