Job DescriptionJob Description

Hammond has been the proud leader of independent education in Columbia, South Carolina for 57 years. Serving 1,000 students in grades PK-12, Hammond offers a challenging college preparatory curriculum supplemented by robust artistic, athletic, and service-learning components. Hammond's signature offerings include a school-wide global studies program focusing on a select country each year, Early Technology Week, an innovative natural history program directed by the school's naturalist-in-residence, and a Public Policy program for upper school students. Hammond is dedicated to furthering its commitment to best practices in the utilization of technology and its applicability to successful and creative teaching and learning. Broadly respected for the breadth and depth of its academic program and its success in preparing students for college and beyond, Hammond is well positioned as one of the premier independent schools in the Southeast. While the school has grown over the years, of particular note and pride within the school community is the strong sense of family that is pervasive across all constituencies. This is a close-knit community of dedicated faculty, students, parents, grandparents, and alumni who are committed to the success of the students and of the school. Hammond is located in Columbia, the capital city and the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, boasting a nationally recognized zoo, one of the largest art museums in the area, an award- winning public library, a widely recognized children's museum, and the University of South Carolina.
