AACPS strives to maintain an inclusive environment that supports the recruitment, retention, and advancement of all employees. Our school system actively engages in efforts to develop a diverse and inclusive workforce. 

HBCU / HSI Recruitment

In an effort to reach a diverse group of teacher applicants, AACPS routinely visits several Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU's) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI's) to recruit potential educators. AACPS recruiters attend job fairs, host information sessions, and conduct workshop presentations at various colleges and universities throughout the year.

• Professionally certified/licensed educators

• Skilled tradesmen interested in working in our Centers of Applied Technology (CAT) Centers

Bilingual Recruitment – Teacher Hiring Event San Juan Puerto Rico

AACPS hosts an annual recruitment event in San Juan, Puerto Rico to recruit bilingual educators interested in relocating to Maryland. Our annual recruitment event is typically held in Jan/Feb to provide candidates with ample time to prepare for relocation to the Maryland area. AACPS representatives also visit with local universities in the San Juan area to share information on teaching opportunities with our district.

 Diversity Networking Events

During the summer months, AACPS hosts Networking Events where applicants have the opportunity to speak with Principals who are actively looking to fill vacancies for the upcoming school year. Networking events provide candidates an opportunity to speak with multiple administrators in a more informal setting as they learn about their schools and communities.
