Gates High School (Franklin Pierce School District) - Math Teacher

Good Morning,

I am the assistant principal at Gates High School in the Franklin Pierce School District and we are in the process of looking for a math teacher for the upcoming school year.  I was wondering if you knew of any former students that are currently looking for a teaching position?  We are looking for a teacher to teach Intensified Algebra and Collection of Evidence.  If you know of any students could you please let them know about our current opening?  They can access information on the district website, fpschools.org, or they can contact me and I will be happy to discuss the position.  Thank you for your time and hopefully you will be able to help us out.  Have a great day.

Justin Nolan
