About KIPP Delta Public Schools:

Founded in 2002, KIPP Delta Public Schools is a growing network of free, open-enrollment, public charter schools offering a choice to families and a college-preparatory education to children in the Arkansas Delta. It currently serves more than 1,200 students across four schools in Helena and Blytheville, Arkansas.  By 2016, KIPP Delta expects to have launched three additional schools.  The KIPP Delta team believes that "All of us WILL learn," and that through hard work, high expectations, and more time in the classroom with dedicated teachers, each of its students will be prepared for success in college & life. By providing outstanding educators and a strong culture of achievement, KIPP Delta Public Schools is helping all students climb the mountain to and through college.

KIPP Delta is committed to preparing students in underserved, high-poverty areas in the Arkansas Delta for success in college and life- a crucial focus since the Arkansas Delta region has one of the lowest high school graduation rates and the fewest college graduates in Arkansas.  KIPP Delta plans to reverse this trend by doubling the number of college-ready graduates in the Delta, and is proving what’s possible as evidenced by a current 83% college or military persistence rate for its first five classes of graduating seniors.

Position Overview:

The Assistant Principal is charged with supporting a school culture that empowers students to develop the knowledge, skills, and character traits necessary to pursue a college education and life of value, joy, and integrity. As an instructional coach, and through the direct management of teachers, the Assistant Principal will focus on maximizing school-wide academic growth and character development.
