More on the Junior High Language Arts Opening
After 21 years of serving Unity Christian School as a teacher, most recently in junior high and also as Curriculum Coordinator, Cheryl Hoekstra left Unity to move with her husband to establish their new residence in California. We will miss her many gifts and laughter, but pray for God's richest blessing on them as they make this life change.
As a result of this vacancy, Unity Christian School is accepting applications from B.A. or M.A. teachers for Junior High with Literature/L.A. emphasis. We prefer several years of successful experience in a Christian school for this position. Articulate, committed educators who enjoy junior high students and have a Christian world and life view should apply.
