Middle School Humanities (5th-8th)

Sacred Heart Catholic School, Cashton, is nestled in “God’s Country,” a small rural village among the ridges and Amish of the driftless region of Wisconsin. The School itself now consists of 14 families and 33 children with the hopes of increasing enrollment through greater access to a liberal arts education and Catholic pedagogy. Another unique feature of our School is the double-grade classroom, which means that 4K and 5K, 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th, and 7th and 8th grade students learn together.

This position will primarily consist of teaching English/Language Arts and History/Geography to Grades 5/6 and 7/8. This is a wonderful opportunity to integrate the humanities courses within the same grade group and in collaboration with other teachers and to see the progression of growth in these areas working with 5th through 8th grade students. Other possible classes to teach include Physical Education/Health and Languages (Latin/Spanish).

We will enter our second year with our partnership with ICLE and are interested in launching a three-year renewal with our School families toward a full integration of the Catholic Liberal Arts Education. Interested candidates must be practicing Catholics who are either educated in the Church’s teachings on education or open to learning. The candidate must also be eager and passionate in serving the Church, students, families, teachers, staff, and parish communities, especially in seeing each student as a unique individual human being created in the image and likeness of God and belonging to a community. This will include building bridges with all involved communities.
