• Invest in Professional Growth: Participate actively in professional development, school events, team meetings, and discipleship opportunities that strengthen teaching practice and support the mission of CHC
• Lead with Grace and Consistency: Establish and maintain high standards for classroom management, student behavior, and accountability that reflect grace, consistency, and biblical principles
• Embody the Ideal Team Player: Demonstrate humility, hunger, people smarts, positivity, and loyalty in all professional relationships and interactions
• Contribute to Spiritual Formation: Participate in chapel, prayer, and other opportunities to nurture students’ faith and mentor them as disciples of Jesus
