The ideal successful applicant will be CTE-certified to teach Business courses and will also be certified to teach dual-enrollment classes through Eastern Arizona College. Positive student-teacher relationships and interactions are a must. Included in the position is the expectation of teaching a Business I and a Business II course so that students can receive a certificate for completing a two-year CTE program in alignment with Arizona Department of Education requirements. The successful candidate will also sponsor an FBLA chapter and prepare students for regional and state competitions.

The position will start with the 2024-25 school year and will commence in July, 2024.
