Terry School District #5 is seeking applicants for a 7-12 Math Teacher for the 2024-2025 school year.

Terry, the county seat for Prairie County, and the surrounding region capture the true essence of everything great about Eastern Montana: scenic badlands, rustic rivers, community spirit, friendly people, rural farming and ranching lifestyle, no traffic.  The nearby Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area and vast public land acres provide a dramatic backdrop for hiking, wildlife viewing, camping and endless outdoor recreation.

Hunting and fishing opportunities abound. Terry is in prime white-tail and mule deer, antelope, pheasant, elk, turkey, waterfowl, upland bird, and varmint hunting. It is also in the heart of agate country, where people come from all over the United States to hunt along the rivers, creeks and nearby hills. 

Prairie County offers many affordable housing options and supports several small businesses ranging from a bank, auto repair, gas station, gift shop, coffee shop, and small grocery store to excellent medical services provided by the Prairie Community Hospital and Clinic. The community supports an outdoor swimming pool, nestled in a large, beautifully treed park.

There are many youth activities available, both in the school:  Close Up, Key Club, band, music, and the community at large: baseball, wrestling, flag football (2018 state champions), 4-H, and a robust county fair to name a few. Located on I-94, Terry is an easy drive of 37 miles to Miles City, Montana, and 38 miles to Glendive, Montana for all other needs.

Terry, home to the Evelyn Cameron heritage center, has a rich history and is loaded with charm and hospitality.  The community pride of Prairie County is well deserved; it’s a great place to live and work.

The district offers comprehensive educational offerings, as well as multiple co/extra-curricular activities for all students. We provide small class sizes and dual college credit in conjunction with the Montana University system.

Our students are housed in a K-3 Elementary, 4-6 Middle School, and a 7-12 High School, all adjacent to one another.  In a small town, the things you do every day as an educator matter; you are truly making a difference instead of your work getting lost in the shuffle of a busier place. The ability to have a positive impact on the life of each student is a reality here. The successful candidate is invested in our students and willing to make a commitment to our school and community.
