DeMatha Catholic High School

DeMatha Catholic High School is a boys' college-preparatory day school in Hyattsville, Maryland, enrolling 700–1,000 students. Located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, the school educates young men through a Catholic-centered curriculum and college-focused academics. Faculty here combine classroom teaching with coaching, club leadership, and community life—the full range of responsibilities expected at an independent day school.

Teaching at DeMatha differs from boarding school work in a tangible way. Without dorm duties, faculty can invest energy into deeper curriculum development, sustained one-on-one mentoring, and genuine presence at athletic events and student activities. The all-boys environment itself shapes pedagogy: single-sex classes often yield focused discussion, fewer social hierarchies that distract from learning, and direct access to male role modeling that many students actively seek.

The college-prep mission drives academic rigor across English, mathematics, sciences, languages, and humanities. Many sections run at honors or Advanced Placement level, meaning teachers work with motivated students whose families have intentionally chosen this path. That consistency matters—classroom preparation and grading load are substantial, but so is student buy-in.

Proximity to D.C. offers real value to faculty. The region hosts major museums, research institutions, internship networks, and a dense independent school community. These resources enrich both classroom content and career development for educators planning a long tenure.

DeMatha hires across academic disciplines, athletics, student support, and administrative roles. Recruitment peaks in late spring for fall openings, though mid-year positions occasionally arise. The school seeks candidates who understand Catholic educational philosophy and can model its values.
