Newark Public Schools

Newark Public Schools is the largest and one of the oldest school systems in New Jersey, with origins dating back to 1676. Currently, NPS has 66 schools serving 37,853 students. With a focus on creating high quality schools through innovative reform efforts, NPS has an incredible opportunity to transform the school system into one that ensures that all of its students graduate to succeed in the college or career of their choice.

In order to meet our students’ needs, we need people who can drive and support unprecedented levels of student achievement. NPS employees must be relentless in their drive to achieve success for all students. In return, NPS empowers talent by providing the resources and support needed to succeed.

We need talent that:
1. Believes all students can achieve at high levels
2. Grows diverse teams
3. Are reflective and actively seek opportunities to grow
4. Innovates the previously unthinkable
5. Effectively communicates with others
6. Treats all people with respect and dignity
7. Knows their content and gets things done
