Heart Butte Public Schools is recruiting a school based mental health specialist to join our very progressive and successful staff.

We are looking for teachers that believe in teaching the whole child and are compassionate and willing to incorporate new strategies to help our students succeed. One who isn’t afraid to explore our culture and build relationships with our students and the community.
Heart Butte schools is proud to be the only school in Montana to move all 3 schools out of the bottom 5% in student achievement and we are only getting better as the years go on. We have accomplished this in one year and have done so by utilizing our very strong framework that we developed as a team.
That framework consists of 4 areas: Instruction, Safety, Culture and Self Identity and Health and Well Being. We have improved our graduation rate from 62% to 93% in 2 years.
We are working to developing an effective counseling program to help our students who have experienced trauma or are just dealing with being young people. So far it is very successful and it shows in our students’ academic success.
We are a four day school week allowing our staff to enjoy the great outdoors and to take advantage of a restful three day weekend.
We also offer teacher housing at a very reasonable cost and you may qualify for loan repayment through the quality educator loan assistance program offered in our school by OPI.
