WLPS Employment Opportunities
Work Where You Belong. Grow Where You Matter
At Whitmore Lake Public Schools, you’re not just an employee, you’re part of a team that laughs together, learns together, and celebrates the everyday wins that make working in education rewarding.
Why WLPS?
Unlike big, sprawling districts, WLPS thrives on close connections. You’ll know your colleagues by name, your students' family trees, and the joy of making a real impact every day. Here’s what makes us different:
Personalized Support: Small class sizes and a collaborative team culture.
Community Spirit: A whole town that rallies behind #TrojanPride.
Room to Grow: Big opportunities to try new things, take on leadership roles, and expand your skills.
Life at WLPS
Imagine walking into a school where your principal knows not just your name but your dog's name, where pep assemblies feel like family reunions. Where staff potlucks are legendary and Friday hallway high-fives are non-negotiable. That's WLPS.
We recognize that every department and every role contributes to what makes WLPS a great place to learn, work, and grow.
WLPS Staff Testimonials
Don't just take our word for it - see what our staff has to say!
"You might be surprised by how much time the Admin team spends reviewing each student's grades, needs, and strengths. Students are not simply part of a percentage group; they are known, supported, and prepared for success in life and learning"
- Teren Sechrist, Special Education/Gen Ed Teacher
"Administration at WLPS is both supportive and knowledgeable about Early Childhood Development. Observing the Superintendent, School Liasion Officer, Principal, and Montessori Specialist work alongside teachers in the classroom and build relationships with students is essential in building school community. Classroom staff is both friendly and supportive to each other and the students."
- Holly Miller, Teacher
"I don't think any other school is like ours. We truly care for and love our students. The staff is amazing. We not only work together, we love spending time outside of work together."
