Careers at Parish

Parish Episcopal School accepts inquiries of interest and resumes via the School employment e-mail address (employment@parish.org).  We regret that due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we simply cannot reply to phone inquiries.  PLEASE DO NOT CALL the personnel office.  We will process employment application materials as quickly as possible. 

You will receive acknowledgement of our receipt of your application. Should the search committee feel that your qualifications meet the needs of a specific position, you will be notified for further follow-up. Please understand that since we receive over 1,500 resumes annually, we cannot interview every candidate. Resumes will be kept on file until the beginning of the following school year.

Salaries are negotiated with the Head of School at the time of a job offer and are based on a candidate's experience and qualifications, thus we are unable to speculate about a particular position's salary.

Candidates must submit a cover letter, resume', educational philosophy (academic positions) and professional references (at least 3). References will not be contacted until approval from candidate.
