The mission of our Human Resources Department is to recruit and retain the most talented and qualified candidates who will make significant contributions to the education and support of ALL students in the Mount Vernon School District. We will accomplish this by hiring educators and support staff who value and commit to 1) identifying and eliminating systemic barriers to educational equity; 2) ensuring that cultures of equity transform inequitable policies and systems; 3) providing instruction, curriculum and learning environments that reflect the strengths and needs of our students allowing them to reach their full potential; and 4) eliciting and engaging our students, families, staff and community. We are committed to providing effective, efficient and responsive services to all applicants, district employees and our community.

NEW APPLICATION SYSTEM
We are now using PowerSchools application system to manage our postings and applications. Note, when creating a new profile in PowerSchools, it will not carry over any information from our previous online platform, so you may skip this step when prompted.
Jobs are posted as they become available. Positions posted will include a job description, required certification if necessary, job skills and available benefits. Teaching, clinical and administrative positions require WA state certification by the Certification Office of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). You may contact the Certification Office for information about certification requirements, application process and fees.
