Junior High School Science Teacher (2024-2025 School Year)

Providence Hall is a charter school located in Herriman UT. Central to the school's mission is teaching students to think critically, communicate effectively, and act responsibly. Students at the junior high participate in pathways that focus their classes in areas that not only meet state standards, but also support their individual interests, foster their desires to try something new, and aim to prepare them for transition to high school.
