SUMMARY

In the heart of San Diego is a nationally acclaimed independent school brimming with energy, determination, and vision. Each day, over 1,300 students from JK through grade 12, along with hundreds of faculty and staff, arrive at one of the two outstanding and iconic campuses of Francis Parker School, which was founded in 1912. The historic Mission Hills Campus houses the lower school division, while the recently remodeled Linda Vista Campus contains the middle and upper school divisions that feature some amazing new facilities.

The director of instructional technology and information systems reports to the assistant head of school for JK-12 strategic initiatives. The director serves as an active and full member of the Parker Leadership Team, which currently is a twelve-person body of school-wide administrators led by the head of school. The technology department has eight members: the director of instructional technology and information systems, whose purview and responsibility includes all aspects of technology, and seven dedicated professionals with specific areas of focus, all of whom report to the director. The next director can rest assured that the department already has an excellent plan in place for this summer, so that technology infrastructure, hardware, and systems will be ready for opening days. Parker would ideally welcome its next technology director on or around July 1, but school leaders will be pragmatic and patient if an out-of-town relocation requires a slightly later start date. If this opportunity speaks to you, Parker encourages you to submit your application materials by the April 20 priority deadline.

12M & Ed Tech Recruiting is running the search on behalf of Francis Parker School. Applications received by April 20th will receive priority review. For application instructions and the full job opportunity statement, please visit:
