High School Dean (Non-Academic) (26-27 School Year)

Intrepid College Prep is a network of free, college preparatory public charter schools located in the Antioch area of Greater Nashville, Tennessee. We educate scholars at two campuses: Opportunity Academy Middle School and Independence Academy High School. Our 5-12 model ensures that scholars have the opportunity to engage in a rigorous, college-preparatory education for eight years prior to their transition to college and the professional opportunities that follow. We are an open-enrollment school, which means that our scholars do not have to take an entrance test or pay tuition to enroll.

Intrepid College Prep is committed to ensuring our scholars, educators, and families have the opportunity to unlock an unlimited future. By providing rigorous academic instruction and creating powerful relationships amongst our community’s members, we ignite passion, seek knowledge, and inspire the bravery needed to have a profound impact in our world.

Our core values are Ignite Passion, Seek Knowledge, and Inspire Bravery. While we ground our instruction in these values, we also strive to live them out as adults in our interactions with one another. We believe that professional development and intentional coaching can allow any person to develop the skills necessary to be an effective team member, but we know that rests upon the bedrock of these essential values.  

You are DISCIPLINED. You hold yourself to a high standard and you take pride in your ability to take initiative. You have strong personal organization skills and are intentional about how you use your time. 

You are MISSION ALIGNED. You believe in helping to unlock the unlimited potential in all students through a college preparatory education. You believe that each and every student, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, religion, or immigration status is deserving of an excellent education and capable of achieving it. 

You are HUNGRY FOR FEEDBACK. You want to grow as a person and a professional. You want to learn from your peers and your coaches, even when it challenges you to put aside your ego. 

You are NERDY. You have a deep love for your area of expertise and a genuine excitement to share it with others. 

You are DRIVEN BY EQUITY. You are committed to being actively anti-racist in your interactions with fellow staff, students and families. You believe that education is inherently social justice work that requires us to begin with ourselves and our own biases. 

You are INTROSPECTIVE. You are committed to personal development and prioritize your own wellness. You are reflective about your impact on others and feel comfortable acknowledging your own mistakes and quirks.
