Why teach at a Catholic School?
Teaching at a Catholic school is more than a career choice; it’s a response to God’s invitation to give of yourself—your gifts, your experience, your knowledge, your charity, and your faith—over and over again. It’s a job intimately linked to the convictions of your heart and your hopes for the future. At the Archdiocese of Detroit, we believe deeply in the power of strong Catholic education and are seeking dedicated individuals who believe just as deeply to join us on this mission, bringing with you all of your convictions, all of your talents, and all of your hope.
