SALARY RANGE: $62,500 - $75,000
Help establish a high school built on humane education for human flourishing. Libertas School of Memphis is hiring a Founding HS Dean of Students and Families to start in Summer 2027 and help shape what student and family life looks like from day one. Libertas High School prepares young adults for college, career, and citizenship. It is small by design so learning stays personal, and it offers world knowledge and great literature, dual enrollment, AP, and college advising, career-aligned courses, a student homebuilding enterprise, and athletics, arts, and enrichment. The same approach applies to the adults: Libertas protects planning time and gives teachers a student support office, which is why its educators average 8 years of experience and why it keeps 90% of its teachers each year. This is a chance to do purposeful work alongside motivated, talented colleagues at a nationally recognized school. Full-time, $62,500–$75,000.
