  • Thursday, October 31, 2019
Hamilton County Schools kicks off the hiring season with the Fall Teacher Recruitment Fair on Wednesday, Nov. 13, from 5-7 p.m. at Ooltewah High School, 6123 Mountain View Road in Ooltewah. Principals at the event will look for potential new teachers for their interim positions in the schools for the second half of this school year, and teaching positions to begin next school year in the fall of 2020.
 
"Are you looking for a place to make a difference for children or the community?  A rewarding career may be awaiting you in a Hamilton County classroom," officials said.
"A high-quality teacher is the most important factor in a student’s success.  That is why providing great teachers and leaders in our schools is a key action area in the district’s five-year action plan Future Ready 2023.  Hamilton County Schools is seeking teachers whose impact will make a difference in the lives of children to prepare students for success in life after graduation."
 
“Our fall recruitment fair helps us to attract talented teachers to our schools,” said Keith Fogleman, chief talent officer for Hamilton County Schools.  “Recruitment fairs are a great opportunity for new and experienced teachers interested in working in Hamilton County Schools to connect with our principals and learn how the school system supports teachers.”  
 
"Not only does Hamilton County Schools seek to attract new talent, but the district focuses on supporting talented teachers already in our classrooms," officials said. "The district features the Teacher Academy that helps to get beginning teachers off to a great start.  Hamilton County Schools developed a year-long support system for new teachers through the new Teacher Network that includes mentors to continue to support new professionals."    
 
“Not only is Hamilton County Schools committed to recruiting and selecting top talent, but we are focused on retaining talented teachers with competitive rewards, first-class professional development, and opportunities to grow in their career,” added Mr. Fogleman.
 
Candidates interested in attending the event are encouraged to pre-register.  Hamilton County Schools employs over 5,500 certified teachers and anticipates hiring approximately 300 teachers for the 2020-2021 school year.
