We seek to hire educators who demonstrate the ability to work with culturally diverse students, and who see themselves as lifelong learners – always willing to learn new things to best meet the ever-changing needs of our students.

 

Is that you?

 

Center I is the newest school in ACPS having opened its doors in August of 2018. Taking a progressive approach towards the design of the student experience, this small, community-based environment has piloted a number of innovative practices that will help guide the ACPS plan to redesign the High School experience.

 

Opening in August 2020, the Information and Communications Technology Academy at Center I will offer a collection of courses designed to both meet core graduation requirements as well as develop talent within areas such as Cybersecurity, Game Design, and Media Communications. With thematic, integrated core courses students will find their studies in these areas to be relevant to the skills they are developing in their elective courses.
