Welcome!

57,000 students, 10,000 employees, 125 schools, and one perfect position for you.

The Boston Public Schools (BPS) has a long and proud tradition of being the oldest school district in the country, and has been named the best urban district in the country, and one of the most improved urban districts in the world. We strongly believe that one of the reasons for such honors is the quality and dedication of our teachers, administrators, and staff.

School leaders

Boston Public Schools seeks highly effective principals with a track record of success. We seek instructional leaders who also possess an exemplary, instructional, managerial and operational skill-set. The leader must be committed to the belief in the potential of all students and be able to focus his/her work consistent with the district’s Acceleration Agenda. We seek leaders who are committed to the ideals of collaboration, innovation, and who will do whatever it takes ensure all our learners attend a high-quality school.

The priority deadline for review is Friday, April 19 by 5:00 p.m. Please visit the district’s career center at www.bostonpublicschools.org/apply-jobs to view the posting. It is important that you upload a targeted cover letter, resume, and three responses to the short answer questions noted in posting in ONE PDF file.

Boston’s children and teachers deserve great school leaders. They deserve a leader like you. We hope you will apply to lead one of our schools.
