High School Improvement Team Member (Internal Applicants Only)

Veritas High School Improvement Team 

Calling all VPCS teachers and staff! 

If you’ve found yourself wondering this year, “What’s the plan for that?” or “I wish we had a solution for that...,” you’re not alone! As we’ve worked through the challenges of opening our high school and expanding our school each year—adding more students, staff, and programs—we’ve faced new obstacles along the way. We know that each of you has valuable insights and observations that can help us move forward with greater clarity and purpose. Together, we can focus on what makes Veritas unique, identifying what we do (and don’t do!) that truly makes a difference for our students.

We are seeking to create a team of 6-8 teachers and staff members from across the school, with a variety of different positions, tenures, and perspectives. With your help, we want to sharpen our lens around the areas of our school and team that need the most attention as we aim to move forward into our fourth school year all rowing in the same direction.
