The Office of Catholic Schools is the clearinghouse for qualified persons applying for elementary and secondary teaching positions. This office neither conducts interviews nor determines employment as this is the responsibility of the principal.
Upon receipt of a completed application packet, you will be added to the AoDCS teacher database. The database is available to all principals. You will not be added to the teacher database until all application packet items are received. The Teacher applicant files are reviewed by principal at the Office of Catholic schools as part of the screening process. The principals schedule interviews with potential candidates for open positions at their school. We DO NOT post teacher openings on our website. The Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools work with the Office of Catholic Schools to fill their open positions from candidates on the teacher database.
