Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory

Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory is a Catholic day school in San Francisco serving over 1,000 students. Founded on the educational heritage of the Daughters of Charity and the De La Salle Christian Brothers, the school operates as an inclusive community where Catholic identity and social justice shape both curriculum and daily life.

Teaching here means working in a mission-centered environment where service and Gospel values are woven into classes, not optional add-ons. Faculty across English, mathematics, sciences, social studies, languages, and arts integrate this framework into instruction. For educators seeking clarity about institutional values, the fit is direct—Catholic identity is central to culture, not peripheral to it.

Scale and structure distinguish this role from smaller Catholic schools. With over 1,000 students, you'll lead multiple classes and mentor advisees within a substantial academic operation. Unlike residential schools, day school positions offer traditional schedules without dorm duties or on-campus housing expectations. This structure appeals to teachers who want institutional depth without evening and weekend residential obligations. You shape hundreds of lives without the lifestyle trade-offs of boarding school faculty work.

San Francisco's economic diversity aligns with Sacred Heart Cathedral's commitment to inclusion. The city context shapes student demographics in ways that make inclusive education a lived reality rather than policy language. Faculty benefit from working in a major metropolitan area with robust professional networks and cultural resources.

The school hires regularly across subject areas, coaching, and student life roles. Day faculty positions come with traditional employment structures suited to California's job market.
