Inspiring Learners. Empowering Educators.

Certificated positions require a California teaching credential, certificate, or professional authorization and typically include classroom teaching, specialist, counseling, and other credentialed educational roles.

 

At Plumas Lake Elementary School District, we believe that exceptional educators inspire students to become creative, curious, resourceful, and lifelong learners who make positive contributions within their local, national, and global communities. As a fast-growing district, PLESD offers educators unique opportunities to grow professionally, collaborate with dedicated colleagues, and help shape the future of our schools. With the construction of our fourth school currently underway, now is an exciting time to join a district that values innovation, supports professional development, and is committed to providing outstanding educational experiences for every student.
