Human Resources (HR) Director

Human Resources (HR) Director at Scholarship Prep - Orange County

About the Employer

At Scholarship Prep, we show up differently. Our network of public charter schools is five campuses strong across Southern California, serving 2,000 TK-8 students, and we're just getting started! We exist for the students who need us most: kids experiencing homelessness, navigating foster care, or seeking a school that identifies and meets their needs. Every child deserves a community where they are known, challenged, and loved. This belief drives everything we do. We're serious about our university-inspired academic setting, but we know strong instruction alone isn’t enough. Our schools are built on trauma-informed practices, culturally responsive teaching, and meaningful mental health supports that help students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. While our work has been recognized and celebrated, what motivates us isn’t awards - it’s impact. We believe that when students are supported by strong systems, caring adults, and authentic partnerships, they can succeed at the highest levels. That’s why we create school communities where scholarship is standard, equity is essential, and partnerships are power. Where every student leaves ready to pursue college, build meaningful careers, and give back. Looking to create community change? You belong here, too!
