Teacher Openings
The Office of Catholic Schools acts as a clearinghouse for qualified persons applying for elementary and secondary teaching positions. This office neither conducts interviews nor determines employment, as this is the responsibility of the principal.

Teacher applicant files are reviewed by principals at the Office of Catholic Schools as part of the screening process. The principal will then schedule interviews.

To complete the teacher application process, please file the following items with the Office of Catholic Schools:

  • Resume
  • Official transcript(s)
  • Three (3) current letters of recommendation
  • Out of State applications must also include information regarding availability for interviews and estimated date of arrival for residence in Denver.
  • $ 5.00 application fee
  • Substitute teaching: must attend a Protecting God's Children Safe Environment Training Session and send your attendance confirmation with your application before you will be allowed to substitute in any of our schools.
    Please visit the Child and Youth Protection 
    webpage for a list of sessions offered through our parishes.
  • Full or Part-time: required to attend a Protecting God's Children Safe Environment Training Session upon employment.
  • Once your application is on file with the Office of Catholic Schools, you may contact the schools to let them know you are interested in teaching at a Catholic school.

All applicants must possess a current Colorado Teacher Certificate or qualify for Colorado Certification.

Applications will be kept on file at the Office of Catholic Schools for two (2) years. Address all application information and inquires to:
