If you're looking for impact-welcome home!

At Battle Creek Public Schools, we're not just hiring teachers. We're building a movement. A comeback story. A community determined to see, challenge, and support every scholar to reach their infinite potential.

We know where we are. We know where we're going. And we need educators who are ready to do the work to get us there. Teachers who believe in academic excellence, equity, and community-not as buzzwords, but as daily commitments.

What Makes This Different

Here, you'll do more than teach-you'll transform. You'll join a team that is rewriting the story for students, families, and an entire city. You'll have support, mentorship, and the resources to grow right alongside your students.

The Perks That Back It Up

$50,000 - $82,010 salary + $1,500 signing bonus (for newly hired teachers)

Housing incentives: $4,500 rental assistance and up to $20,000 toward buying a home

A strong mentorship program (for new teachers) and continuous professional development

Stipends for extra commitments that recognize your time and talent

Who We're Looking For

Teachers who thrive in diversity and see every student's potential

Educators who are relentless in their pursuit of excellence

Changemakers who aren't afraid of hard work because they know what's at stake

SCHOOL SAFETY CLEARANCE: The successful candidate will be subject to a fingerprint and background check as a condition of employment. All fees required for this check (estimated $73.00) will be the responsibility of the successful applicant.
