Archbishop Spalding High School

Archbishop Spalding High School is a Catholic college-preparatory day school serving over 1,000 students in Severn, Maryland, just south of Baltimore. As a large independent secondary school, it draws students from a wide geographic region and maintains the academic rigor expected of schools preparing teenagers for four-year universities. The school's Catholic identity shapes its mission to develop students spiritually, academically, physically, and socially—a framework that influences how faculty design courses and engage with the community.

Teaching at Archbishop Spalding means working in a structured college-prep environment where curriculum is deliberately aligned to higher education. The school's size creates distinct advantages: enough enrollment to support specialized departments and electives, yet small enough that faculty names are known beyond their own hallways. Staff participate in a community that explicitly values the dignity of individual students, translating that principle into classroom practice and advising relationships.

The school hires across its academic departments—sciences, mathematics, English, social studies, languages, and visual and performing arts—as well as for coaching positions and administrative roles. Because Archbishop Spalding operates on a traditional academic calendar and serves day students, faculty schedules differ from those at boarding schools; most staff work the standard school day without residential duties.

What distinguishes teaching here is the deliberate integration of faith and learning. Faculty are expected to understand Catholic theology sufficiently to reinforce it across disciplines, not just in theology classes. For educators who want to teach in a values-centered environment with strong enrollment, stable resources, and a defined college-prep mission, Archbishop Spalding offers a substantive opportunity.
