Valley Catholic High School

Valley Catholic High School serves 701–1000 students in Beaverton, Oregon, as a Catholic day school. The school shares the mission of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon and integrates faith into daily academic and community life. Unlike schools where chaplaincy is separate from teaching, here Catholic values shape curriculum, student retreats, service projects, and how faculty interact with students in hallways and classrooms.

Teaching at Valley Catholic differs from secular schools in a clear way: faith forms the environment, not just extra programming. Teachers need not be Catholic themselves, but they must support a community where prayer, service, and spiritual growth are routine. Service projects are frequent. Retreats happen on the calendar. For educators who want their work to extend into character formation alongside subject mastery, this integration matters.

As a day school in the Portland area, Valley Catholic offers faculty a different rhythm than boarding schools. Teachers commute rather than live on campus, preserving clear boundaries between work and home life. Compensation is competitive within the Oregon independent school market. Benefits include health insurance, retirement contributions, and professional development funding.

Valley Catholic hires across disciplines: English, mathematics, sciences, social studies, languages, arts, and physical education. Administrative, counseling, and support staff roles open periodically. Summer hiring cycles are typical, though mid-year openings do occur. If you teach in Oregon or are considering a move to the Portland region, the school's day-school model and explicit faith mission appeal to candidates seeking both professional structure and spiritual alignment in their workplace.
