Tradere non nova, sed noviter.

Is This Your Calling?

Do you believe education is an act of inheritance, not innovation for its own sake?

Do you see teaching as the work of stewardship receiving what has been handed down and offering it anew with fidelity, wonder, and love?

Are you drawn to the formation of children not merely as students, but as souls entrusted to your care, to be shaped in truth, goodness, and beauty?

Do you desire to serve as a servant of the Secret Fire, carrying forward the light of faith, reason, and culture through patient instruction, disciplined habits, and joyful reverence?

Saint Theresa Catholic School seeks teachers who understand their vocation as more than a profession—educators formed by the classical tradition, rooted in the Catholic faith, and committed to teaching as an act of service to God, the Church, and the next generation.
