Dynamic K-12 Music Educator

Sargent Public Schools | Sargent, Nebraska
Start Date: Second Monday in August

Sargent Public Schools is seeking a passionate and visionary educator to lead and grow our K–12 Music Program. This is a rare opportunity for a teacher who wants more than a job—someone who wants to design, develop, and elevate a music program with full administrative support, strong community backing, and funding dedicated to program success.

If you are an educator who dreams of building something meaningful, innovative, and lasting for students, this position was created for you.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

At Sargent, we don’t just support programs—we invest in them. Our leadership team and Board of Education are committed to providing the resources, trust, and flexibility needed for teachers to build programs that inspire students and strengthen our school culture.

You’ll have:

• Small class sizes — K–6 classes of approximately 13 students or fewer

• A 7–12 band program of approximately – 16 students, creating an ideal ensemble size for growth, balance, and sound development

• Administrative support that values your vision

• Funding dedicated to program development

• A collaborative staff culture

• Engaged families and strong community support

• Students eager to participate and grow

• A district committed to moving from great to excellent
