Job DescriptionAssistant PrincipalJob Description

Beta is a Title I Schoolwide campus. I understand that all or part of this job could be funded with federal funds. I also understand that the base salary includes a $10,000 stipend which is to cover all Parent and Family Engagement activities.

At Beta, we believe building world-class schools starts with offering a world-class education. That begins with academics. No matter your role, whether in operations, culture, or instruction, your first charge as a leader is to know where our scholars are academically and to own their success. Academic achievement comes first. Character development is a close second. Both are non-negotiable and require every leader to act as a team player. This may include planning and teaching after-school tutorials, pulling small groups, covering classes, or coordinating Saturday school. We move the academic dial together with urgency and excellence.

Mission
