Every school has stories worth sharing. At St. James Catholic School, those stories happen every day—in the classroom, at school events, through student accomplishments, and in the relationships built among students, families, faculty, and the wider community. We're looking for a Communications Manager who can help us tell those stories clearly and consistently.

We're interested in candidates with experience in communications, marketing, public relations, social media, nonprofit communications, community engagement, or similar work. Strong writing matters. So does good judgment.
