Career Opportunities

The quality of a school district is defined by the people who work there. For this reason, the West Des Moines Community Schools seeks to attract and keep high quality teachers, administrators and support staff. To do so, we strive to nurture professional growth and acknowledge dedication.

Our employees believe we are a quality workplace. We know this because they voted the district a national top workplace in 2012.

We will continue to earn this acknowledgment guided by a vision: To inspire joy in learning… for students, for families, for staff members and for teachers.
