About The Position

Hamilton County Schools is committed to excellence for every student. With nearly 75 schools across the district, we are focused on helping all students thrive and experience a future without limits. Soddy Daisy Middle School is a 6-8 school located in Soddy Daisy, TN, just north of Chattanooga. SDMS is a smaller middle school in a very tight knit community. Our school is much like an extended family for the staff who work here. SDMS is an "open enrollment" school which means that students can choose to come here. Our top notch teachers work collaboratively to create engaging lessons. We intentionally mentor new teachers so that there is always support as teachers hone their craft. We are looking for energetic, collaborative, and creative teachers who love to see kids learn and want to be an important "difference maker" in young adult lives.
