About the Employer
Welcome to Eureka City Schools: A Place to Learn, Lead, and Grow Thank you for your interest in becoming part of Eureka City Schools (ECS)—a district where every learner, every day is engaged, empowered, and future-ready. We are at an exciting crossroads, moving boldly toward a future where competency-based education replaces one-size-fits-all learning. Here, progress is measured by mastery and meaningful growth, not seat time. We're building environments where every learner—students and staff alike—can flourish with personalized support, innovation, and purpose. Who We Are: Our Mission and Core Values At ECS, we are driven by a shared mission: Every Learner, Every Day: Engaged, Empowered, and Future-Ready. Our work is grounded in the following core values: Accountability – We act with integrity and follow through on our commitments. Empathy – We listen with compassion and foster understanding. Communication – We prioritize open, respectful, and honest dialogue. Innovation – We seek creative solutions to improve learning and engagement. Resilience – We approach challenges with grit and a growth mindset. Guiding Principles for Learning We believe that: Learning is learner-centered and personalized. Belonging fosters growth—students learn best when they feel safe and seen. Equity means access—all learners deserve support tailored to their needs. Growth comes through effort, not perfection. Relevance drives engagement—learning should be joyful, authentic, and connected to life. This commitment doesn’t stop with students. We extend these beliefs to every employee, creating a workplace where innovation, development, and excellence are supported every step of the way. Equity and Inclusion at the Core Eureka City Schools is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We believe that a diverse staff helps all learners thrive. Discrimination in any form—based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, or any protected category—is not tolerated. Our policies are guided by Title IX, Section 504, and other civil rights protections.
