St. Wenceslaus Catholic School is seeking a caring, enthusiastic, and student-centered educator to serve as our Long-Term Substitute Teacher for 4th Grade from Monday, October 19, 2026, through Friday, January 29, 2027.

This is an excellent opportunity for a licensed teacher, recently retired educator, new graduate, or someone looking to return to the classroom in a supportive and faith-filled school community. The classroom teacher will return on Monday, February 1, 2027, and a thoughtful transition plan will ensure you have the support and resources needed for success throughout the assignment.

At St. Wenceslaus, our primary focus is to provide a nurturing, faith-based educational experience for students in Preschool through 8th grade.
