High School History Teacher

Candidates for the Upper School History Teacher position should be knowledgeable about all aspects of history instruction, including the use of instructional technology, and should be eager to work both with exceptionally able and motivated students and with students who are less academically independent. A teacher's specific schedule of courses will depend on their interests and background, as well as on the needs of the department, which currently include United States History (AP and College Prep), World History (ancient and modern), and a variety of elective topics.

The ideal candidate has taught, or is prepared to teach, both U.S. and World History. Experience working with history-related clubs (Model UN, Mock Trial, History Day) is a plus. Candidates should work well with colleagues, have strong organizational skills and habits, and possess a sense of humor and creativity. In addition to teaching, this position includes normal faculty duties such as advising students, supervising study areas, chaperoning occasional activities, teaching a Mayterm course, and contributing to other school activities through coaching or moderating a club.

• Bachelor’s degree in a teaching-related field or educational leadership with a preference for an advanced degree.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of high school equivalent teaching experience preferred
• Commitment to Seven Hills’ Mission and Values.
• Dedication to building strong, supportive relationships with students, colleagues, and parents through open communication and collaboration.

The Seven Hills School, located in Cincinnati, is a highly strategic institution committed to being “the best at getting better.” Serving 1,044 students (360 in the Upper School), Seven Hills is currently ranked as the top independent school in the Cincinnati region and #3 in the state of Ohio. Recently named, each of the last five years, one of the top two College Preparatory Schools in Ohio, Seven Hills offers a rich, comprehensive curriculum, with a host of signature programs in Civic Engagement;
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math; and Experiential Learning, but the defining characteristic of the school is its focus on Social and Emotional Learning and the warmth and inclusiveness of the school’s culture.

The school has invested nearly $40 million in state-of-the-art facilities, including the Taft Early Childhood Center, The Schiff Center for the Performing Arts, a new four-court Field House, and a new Middle School academic building. Construction begins in 2025 on a new Lower School which will unify the two lower schools onto one campus. At the same time, the school has quadrupled its endowment (now $41 million) to sustain the excellence of the faculty and staff and to support an ambitious Affordability Initiative to make the school accessible to a much more diverse student population.
