GAC has a strong reputation for academic excellence, vibrant arts programs, competitive athletics, and a strong commitment to spiritual development.
As GAC embarks on significant growth and transformation, the school is seeking to fill the role of Director of Human Resources, with the position available upon hiring. The Director of Human Resources will plan, lead, direct, develop, and coordinate the policies, activities, and staff of the Human Resources department, ensuring legal compliance and implementation of the organization’s mission and talent strategy. The Director of Human Resources will join an exceptional faculty who are all committed to the following ISM’s:
As followers of Jesus, we know our first purpose is to love. In everything we do, in every interaction, we will strive to lead with love in order to enrich the lives of our students, families, guests, and fellow team members. To lead with Love means that we will begin with love, model love, teach love, and in our love, we will seek to reflect the light of Christ into our community and the whole world.
We have been called by God and have been given a mission that is not of this world. Christ is the center of who we are and why we do what we do. Because we are truly working for HIM, we recognize that we are not working at a “job”. This gives us a higher calling each day with our thoughts and actions.
We are a team and must treat each other as such. We believe in each other and hold one another accountable. We are individually judged by our collective actions. We are one team, united. We pledge to live by the Matthew 18 Principle, whereby we seek reconciliation and resolution.
Our students are unique and learn differently. For that reason, we will be responsive in our teaching and let their learning drive our instruction. In order to truly embrace our calling, we must learn to accept and welcome change in our environment. We are committed to making each day enjoyable and engaging for our students.
We believe in continuous growth and that every person, both students and faculty/staff, can learn and develop their intellect, skills, and abilities. We are each committed to our own professional growth.
We recognize that one cannot always say Yes to every question or inquiry. However, we commit to not immediately saying no. We are committed to fostering curiosity and new ideas. We will think outside the box, work on a compromise, or at least give all options a strong consideration before making a decision.
We pay attention to the small things. They make up the difference between being good and truly being exceptional. We show our dedication to our mission through our professionalism, our communication, and our behavior. We desire nothing less than exceptional service for our students and families.
We are committed to supporting the mission of Greater Atlanta Christian School. In order to do that, we will be positive about both our own efforts each and every day and the efforts of others. When one of us wins, we all win. We will do what it takes to ensure that the GAC family as a whole is successful by going above and beyond expectations.
