Operational Duties

Proven ability to develop programs, grow participation, and sustain competitive success.
Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
Commitment to the mission of Jesuit education and the formation of student-athletes as whole persons—academically, athletically, and spiritually.
Our Workplace: Praise, reverence and service should mark the relationship that exists not only between teachers and students, but among all members of the school community. Ideally Jesuit schools should be places where people are believed in, honored and cared for; where the natural talents and creative abilities of persons are recognized and celebrated; where individual contributions and accomplishments are appreciated; where everyone is treated fairly and justly; where sacrifice on behalf of the economically poor, the socially deprived, and the educationally disadvantaged is commonplace; where each of us finds the challenge, encouragement and support we need to reach our fullest individual potential for excellence; where we help one another and work together with enthusiasm and generosity, attempting to model concretely in word and action the ideals we uphold for our students and ourselves.
