About the Role
New Haven Public Schools believes that all students can learn, achieve, and rise to a bright future. Our purpose is to provide an outstanding education that prepares students to be the next generation of leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers.
Engagement is the foundation of learning and growth—for students, adults, and the school district. Success is achieved when students actively engage in their own learning, adults participate in their professional community, and the district continuously evolves to meet the needs of children and schools.
We strive to create purposeful, supportive, and meaningful learning experiences that empower students to succeed in college, career, and life. This includes engaging the whole child—academic learning, social-emotional growth, and health—to enable students and schools to thrive.
Core values guiding our work include collaboration, growth and innovation, and equity.
