• Attend a school hiring event | There will be a hiring event from 8 a.m. to noon at Webster Groves High School’s Frick Theater/Cafeteria, 100 Selma Avenue.

Exposure to teachers from different racial backgrounds can enhance cross-cultural understanding and reduce stereotypes among students. While the emphasis is on recruiting educators and support staff members of color, anyone is encouraged to attend. The hiring fair is a joint event between Lindbergh, Maplewood-Richmond Heights, Kirkwood and Webster Groves school districts. This event was rescheduled from Jan. 24 due to the inclement weather.
