Historically, many of our teachers and staff have been referred to our school through families, students, and colleagues already connected with Natomas Charter School. Ensuring we have fully qualified and diverse educators across our organization takes the entire community. If you know anyone who is interested in joining our school we are hosting a regional charter school collaborative job fair on Saturday April 1st at Star Academy from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. More details about the job fair can be found on our school Facebook page. Please share the details widely with your networks.
