Job Description

The Mission: Defying the Status Quo to Build a New Legacy At Collegiate Academies, we don’t just run schools; we build engines of social mobility. We are at the absolute epicenter of the movement to send New Orleans and Baton Rouge students to college. While others talk about \"potential,\" we produce results . When we say \"all scholars,\" we don't use it as a buzzword. We mean the scholars who arrived five years behind grade level, the 9th graders ready for AP English, the overaged students, and the scholars with IEPs, 504s, or BIPs. We believe every single one of them is college-bound. Our high schools boast the highest growth in our cities for populations that historically face the steepest mountains. We don’t just nudge the needle; we break it. We're proud to revitalize the legacies and add the next great chapter to the storied histories of George Washington Carver, Marion Abramson, Walter L. Cohen, and Sarah T. Reed while establishing new legacies at Collegiate Baton Rouge and Opportunities Academy. Our successes in academics and college are mirrored in marching band, athletics, and leadership. The Proof: Our Scholars Are Winning We don’t settle for \"okay.\" We celebrate as our scholars crush barriers to enter the world’s most elite institutions and programs, including: The Ivies & Elites: Brown University, Tulane University, and Grinnell College.

But here’s the secret: it’s also the most fun you’ll ever have. No Silos, Only Teams: You won’t be left on an island. You’ll be surrounded by excellent teammates who obsess over your growth as much as their own. We evaluate our choices against the strongest examples of excellence to ensure our scholars win.

We don't do fluff; we do growth. 100% Engagement: Whether you’re the Principal or the Office Manager, you are a culture‑builder. Everyone models and teaches college‑ready habits. Everyone contributes to the \"100% of scholars thinking\" goal. Celebration as a Requirement: We work hard so we can celebrate harder. You’ll find us cheering at 7:00 AM for scholar milestones, dancing in the streets during Mardi Gras, and roaring at athletic playoff games. Roles and Responsibilities: Your Impact Relentlessly Prepare 100% of Students Prepare and execute lesson plans that explicitly teach rigorous content while reinforcing the academic habits it takes to succeed in college. Contribute to each student’s future college success, regardless of their starting point, through strong execution and contributions to their individualized plans. Deliver feedback daily to each student, in‑person and through grading, that puts them on the path to mastery. Record, analyze, and act on data frequently to move scholars closer to the academic standard and college‑ready habits it takes to succeed in college.

Immediately practice and implement what you learn in professional development to the benefit of team and scholar culture. Engage in the CA feedback loop: give and receive direct, actionable coaching daily to sharpen your craft. Collaborate across teams to break down barriers for scholars—if a student is struggling, it’s everyone’s job to find the solution.

Make the choice to build team and scholar culture by recognizing and celebrating the small, daily achievements of others. Typical Courses Offered: English I, English II, English III, English IV, AP Literature, and AP Language and Composition. Qualifications: Are You CA Ready? The Baseline: Bachelor’s degree required.
