About The Position

North Valley School for Young Adults offers students ages 17-21 a new educational pathway to success by providing an opportunity to get back on track and graduate with a high school diploma. Students are supported in achieving their post-secondary goals through personalized graduation plans and small classroom settings. North Valley is a place for students who may have encountered obstacles to high school success and are ready to recommit themselves to school and developing new work habits and skills. Students contribute to a positive school community culture through their voice, leadership, attendance, and active participation in the classroom, school, and District activities. Due to the small size, teachers at North Valley teach both content and elective classes and may have an expanded instructional role.
