Paraprofessional
Who We Are
Serving more than 3,300 scholars in seven schools across two cities; Jackson, Mississippi and Nashville, Tennessee, RePublic Schools is the only school network solely dedicated to reimagining public education in the South.
Part of reimagining education in the South means that we confront the historic inequities that work against our scholars and actively work to dismantle those inequities. We are doing this by intentionally creating environments that embrace, honor, and celebrate our scholars’ identities and experiences, as well as the identities and experiences of every member of our community.
We are searching for an intelligent, passionate, gritty, and hard-working Paraprofessional ready to lock arms with the teams at Liberty Collegiate Academy in Nashville, TN for the 2025-2026 school year.
