Join us in the important work of forming disciples of Jesus Christ through community, faith, knowledge, and service. Peoria Notre Dame High School is seeking a school counselor to serve our motivated students and help them academically, socially, and emotionally.
At PND, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside faculty and staff members committed to bettering themselves as teachers and Christians. We know we can’t share what we don’t have, and therefore we offer ample opportunities for our faculty and staff to strengthen their spiritual lives through daily Mass, daily adoration and confession, biweekly faith formation meetings, an annual faculty retreat, and All School Mass. In addition to spiritual development, we offer engaging and collaborative professional learning: monthly professional learning communities and ongoing professional learning sessions.
Many of the benefits of working at PND are visible—competitive salary, health and dental benefits, a 403b match program, and tuition discounts for your children at our partner schools and at PND. Many benefits are not as visible—young people who are respectful and engaged, small teacher-to-student class sizes, and the opportunity to be part of a Catholic community with a rich history and a united mission.
