Mott Hall Charter School

About Us

Mott Hall Charter School (MHCS) is a small public middle school serving grades 6–8 in the South Bronx. Our mission is to prepare our scholars in mind, body, and character to succeed in top high schools, college, and careers by becoming inquisitive, open-minded, and compassionate citizens of the world. We accomplish this through a whole-child approach including enhanced counseling and character development, 21st-century technology infusion, and our career- and college-readiness program.

We live by our motto, “RISE to the Challenge,” grounded in our core values of Responsibility, Integrity, Scholarship, and Excellence.

About the Position

MHCS seeks an energetic, experienced, and visionary instructional leader to guide the school into its next chapter. The Principal will ensure that MHCS continues to thrive academically, culturally, and operationally while advancing its mission. As the next Principal, you will lead a close-knit Bronx community of scholars, families, and educators — raising achievement, strengthening culture, and preparing every student to RISE to the challenges of high school, college, and beyond.

Who We're Looking For

Our ideal leader is a hands-on instructional coach and a steady operational manager who thrives in a high-need urban middle school. They are deeply committed to equity, skilled at developing teachers, fluent in data, and energized by the work of guiding a standalone charter through accountability and renewal. Above all, they believe — as we do — that every Bronx scholar deserves an education that ignites their potential.

Experience supporting students experiencing housing insecurity, including familiarity with McKinney-Vento protections and wraparound supports

Faculty Recruitment, Development & Support

Demonstrated ability to identify, support, develop, and retain a talented and diverse faculty and staff
Commitment to professional growth, collaboration, and positive faculty dynamics

Family, Student & Community Engagement

Exceptional communication and partnership skills with a multilingual, multicultural community

Integrate technology meaningfully across instruction in the school’s one-to-one device environment (i-Ready, Amplify, Google Classroom)
Oversee day-to-day operations — safety, logistics, scheduling, and school environment — and perform additional duties aligned with the mission and growth of the school
