Junior High School Math Teacher (2024-2025 School Year) Julian is a small rural town in the mountains of Eastern San Diego County - so Julian Junior High is not your typical neighborhood school. Our K-8 district consists of one elementary and one junior high school, covers 600 square miles, includes two Native American reservations and serves a diverse student population of 300 students (approximately 90 in grades 6-8). Our mission is to provide every student success in learning. We are dedicated to the individual development of attitudes, skills, knowledge, and responsibility essential to successful achievement in school and society. We actively involve parents and the community in supporting student learning and development. Job Summary: Math Teacher
