Human Resources Business Partner - Rocky Mountain Prep

About Rocky Mountain Prep

We are Rocky Mountain Prep, a movement comprised of incredible educators, families, scholars, and advocates who are changing the face of public education in Colorado by democratizing college access and preparation for historically marginalized students and families. On paper, we are a network of twelve college preparatory charter schools in the Denver metro area serving students as young as twelve weeks through twelfth grade. But we are so much more than this.

The RMP community is filled with staff, students, and stakeholders who are motivated by our pillars of rigor and love, live daily by our PEAK values, and believe deeply in the power and potential of every student we serve. We aspire to be the highest-performing school system in Colorado. We will grow to serve students in many communities who need more seats in schools that provide rigorous and loving college preparatory options.

Who We Seek:

We seek teachers and staff who are interested in developing students into outstanding human beings in their academic and personal lives by role-modeling our culture of Rigor and Love. Work collaboratively with their teammates and seek feedback, coaching, and mentorship from their admin team and school community.  Implement our data-driven curriculum with the tools they’ve gained from experience while they adapt to the needs of their students.  

If you are mission-driven, humble in your reflections about your practice, smart in your approach to data, and results-oriented, we’d love to have you apply.

During the 2024-2025 school year, RMP is driving after five big goals:

1. 85% Staff Retention
2. 100% of campuses going green & ECE-2nd grade students growing an average of 1.25 years in math and reading
3. 100% of seniors accepted into college
4. 40% of 3rd-8th grade students meet their Accelerated Reader millionaire goal
5. RMP meets its network enrollment goal
