High School Social Studies Teacher

Hiawatha Collegiate High School (HCHS) seeks a hard-working, passionate, and goal-oriented educator to join our team as a Social Studies Teacher for the 2026-2027 school year.
Job Summary

Every HCHS teacher has the opportunity to join a team of motivated, mission-driven teammates who are committed to taking responsibility for their students’ learning. Hiawatha teachers are charged with providing a rigorous, fast-paced, and inspiring learning environment for their students.

In addition to leading courses in their content area, HCHS teachers are also advisors: adults committed to supporting a small group of students as they work to develop their academic and social-emotional selves. Advisors are critical in HCHS’s model of student support, and those who stay for all four years of their advisees’ high school career will have the amazing privilege of handing their advisees their diplomas and wishing them well as they head off to college.

The Social Studies Teacher will work under the guidance of the Social Studies Department Chair, Leadership Team, and in close collaboration with fellow classroom teachers and advisors.
