Opportunity:
New Orleans College Prep seeks a school custodian to clean and maintain school facilities in order to ensure a positive learning environment for our students. If you are relentless about seeing disadvantaged students achieve at high levels, this is a chance to work at a school that does whatever it takes to ensure college success for all children.

Background:
New Orleans College Prep’s mission is to prepare each of its students to enter and excel in a rigorous four-year college or university. The school opened for an entering class of sixth graders in August 2007 and has grown ambitiously to serve a population of 850 students – (250 students in grades 9-10, 300 students in grades 5-8 and 300 students in grades K-4.) We will add a grade every year to eventually serve grades K-12. NOCP is also planning to expand its services to open additional K-12 campuses throughout New Orleans.

NOCP was selected as one of 22 out of 179 schools nation-wide to be recognized and honored by New Leaders for New Schools’ Effective Practice Incentive Community (EPIC) program for its significant student achievement gains on the iLEAP Louisiana state achievement tests in 2008-09. In addition, NOCP students performed in the top 7 out of 46 open enrollment public schools in New Orleans on the 2010 8th Grade LEAP exams. NOCP high school students exceeded the state average on the 2010-2011 state end-of-course exams by 30-35 percentage points. NOCP utilizes an extended school day and year, a disciplined and nurturing school culture, and data-driven instruction to drive dramatic gains in student achievement. New Orleans College Prep will provide all our students with a sound college preparatory education that rivals the academic rigor of the best private and public schools in the city.
