THE INSTITUTION

Archbishop Ryan High School, a coeducational Roman Catholic high school located in Northeast Philadelphia and one of the high schools that make up the Secondary School System of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, has remained steadfast in delivering the high-quality educational experience that the school has become known for since its inception in 1966. Originally two separate boys' and girls' schools, the current school was merged in 1989 and carries forward the proud traditions of both schools. The school seeks to challenge students, in and beyond the classroom, as the faculty and administration strives to provide the knowledge, wisdom, and experiences that will serve as a foundation for success as leaders and productive members of society in service to God and neighbor. These are challenging times for the education community and especially so for Catholic schools. Archbishop Ryan is looking for a strong administrative leader that will be an integral part of the school community that can drive a new strategic plan, build a strong development/fundraising program, find new purpose for underutilized facilities, and be a collaborative and unifying force with the Archbishop Ryan Board, Staff, and Alumni.

In keeping with Church teachings on social justice, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity. This policy governs all aspects of employment, including but not limited to hiring, job selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, benefits and access to training.

As a religious organization, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is also bound by Canon Law and Catholic teachings. In the event an employee fails to adhere to, or takes a position publicly that is contrary to, Catholic doctrine and teachings, or any policy or procedure maintained by the Archdiocese, the employee may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

Employment practices will not be influenced by an individual's legally protected status or any other basis as may be required by local, state and/or federal law as those laws apply to the Archdiocese.
