MNPS is where teachers come to make a difference.
WHY MNPS
Metro Nashville Public Schools is full of passionate educators and leaders who work every day to make a difference in the lives of young people. In MNPS, our teachers recognize that great learning happens when they know their students, when they understand how to motivate and inspire them, and when they are fully supported by a district that understands what they need to be successful.
In MNPS, every student is known. And in our schools, every teacher is known too.

In Metro Nashville Public Schools, we work hard every day to make Every Student Known. It’s our mantra, our mission, even our district anthem. We want to make sure we know what makes each child thrive: their strengths, their likes, their talents, their goals, their dreams. Only then can we work with them most effectively to help them unlock their potential and get to where they want to go.
As a teacher, you know all of this intuitively. It’s why you do what you do. And we want you to make your impact right here in our schools. We have a great culture of professional development and support, opportunities for advancement, and the best teaching salaries in the state – all in a vibrant, diverse and exciting city that’s full of music, sports, food, natural beauty and more.
You’ll be joining a district that recently achieved a record-high graduation rate, earned national recognition for our post-pandemic learning recovery, and outpaced the state in student academic outcomes. The commitment of our teachers, support staff, families and community partners opens up endless possibilities as we work to prepare every student for college, career and life.
We look forward to introducing you to all of these opportunities when you join Team MNPS.
