We are currently in need of substitute teachers. Substitute teachers do not need a post-secondary degree. For the 2023-2024 school year, the 1-Year Temporary Non-Bachelor's Substitute Teaching License allows applicants who do not hold a post-secondary degree, but meet the employing school or district’s set of educational requirements, to serve in the role of a substitute teacher. More information on licensure is available through the Ohio Department of Education's Substitute Licensure Web Page.

We are also in need of substitutes for classroom assistants, administrative assistants, and library media specialist assistants. This is a great opportunity to help serve our students. Please complete an application by clicking on this link: NEW APPLICANT
