Employment

Thank you for your interest in employment at Holy Family Academy.

Holy Family Parish is a vibrant and growing Roman Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, located in St. Louis Park, just west of downtown Minneapolis. We are proud of our strong Catholic identity: Holy Family Academy is faithful to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Students and staff attend Holy Mass every day, pray the Angelus daily at noon, and participate in weekly Eucharistic adoration.
The classical curriculum at HFA is in the great tradition of the Catholic liberal arts education: discovering the Truth; studying great literature and the history of Western Civilization; learning to think logically and to write, speak and debate effectively; studying Bible stories and salvation history; and studying the Latin language. We are committed to training each child in a holy manner that develops high standards of thinking and behavior, a well-formed conscience, sound judgment and self-discipline.

Current Opportunities:

Headmaster of Holy Family Academy

Holy Family Academy seeks a Headmaster starting in the 2022-2023 school year. Holy Family Academy serves students in preschool through 8th grade and enrolls 229 students. Catholic education is at the heart of the evangelizing mission of the Church to “Go and make disciples” (Mt 28:19).

Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis are vital to the evangelizing mission of the Church. They strive to provide an education that is authentically Catholic: a formation of the whole person in the light of Jesus Christ. Holy Family Academy is a Catholic classical school, dedicated to excellence in education and fidelity to the Magisterium. We strive to cultivate a joyful Catholic culture supporting families in the formation of their children's holiness, virtue, and reason.

However, “The project of the Catholic school is convincing only if carried out by people who are deeply motivated, because they witness to a living encounter with Christ” (Congregation for Catholic Education, 1997). The successful candidate will establish, demonstrate, and promote the highest standards of excellence in Catholic culture, academics, and organizational leadership. Other requirements include:

• A practicing Catholic in good standing with the Catholic Church who is able to provide a credible witness of the Catholic Faith
• A deep commitment to the importance and mission of Catholic schools
• A master’s degree in Catholic school leadership or its equivalent (or in progress) preferred
• A minimum of three years teaching or administrative experience in Catholic schools

Employment in and by the Church is substantially different from secular employment. Church employees must conduct themselves in a manner which is consistent with and supportive of the mission and purpose of the Church. Their behavior must not violate the faith, morals, or laws of the Church or the Archdiocese, such that can embarrass the Church or give rise to scandal. It is required that this employee be an active, participating Roman Catholic.
