Happy Valley is a small, progressive, college preparatory high school

school was the site of a Permaculture design course taught by Bill 
Mollison in 1997.  Since then the school has developed an extensive 
Permaculture program and the candidate must have interest and/or 
experience in this area. Current permaculture projects on the land 
include a greenhouse, 55' diameter circular garden, mixed fruit 
orchards of over 100 trees and
extensive native regeneration projects. Classes would include 
Environmental Science, Biology, and Chemistry.

Teaching at HVS is a mentor-based program, with small classes and 
close relationships with students. Responsibilities include 
participation in the Outdoor Education Program. The ability to coach 
a sport would be an asset.

Candidates must be positive, dedicated teachers, thoroughly prepared 
and enthusiastic in their subject area, be comfortable working with 
adolescents and as part of an involved faculty team.
