At Tulsa Honor Academy (THA), we are on a mission to equip all scholars with the academic skills, content knowledge, and ethical character required for college graduation and life success. We believe ALL scholars, regardless of race, background, income, or ability, can achieve at high levels. We work relentlessly to ensure 100% of scholars are on a path to go to and graduate from a college of their choice, beginning in the fifth grade.
Opening our doors in 2015 with 92 fifth-grade scholars, THA will grow to serve over 1,400 scholars in grades 5-12 across our three schools in the 2026-2027 academic year. Our work is grounded in five core values: Equity at Our Core, Committed to Community, Pursuit of Excellence, Real Change Now, and We Choose Courage.
When you join the THA Familia, you are joining a team with an unwavering commitment to ensuring scholars in our community have access to a high-quality, college preparatory education. One that is focused on developing successful college graduates who will become well-rounded, engaged individuals who will transform their communities.
Teachers at THA are entrusted with advancing our mission through the execution of a standards-aligned curriculum and the continuous improvement of their instructional practices. This role is for a candidate who shares our unshakeable belief that all scholars can achieve when given the opportunity.
The work is hard, but joyful for both kids and adults. You will work hard, but love just as hard, developing a palpably positive classroom and school climate where joy is deeply rooted in achievement. You will operate within a structure-driven school that sacrifices autonomy in exchange for consistency and a shared definition of excellence. This means you will sweat the small stuff, enforce school-wide systems, and understand that being warm and strict are not opposites.
You will be a proactive communicator, a team-first collaborator, and a relentless advocate for rigorous academic instruction. You will be in the trenches with our kids, engaging and motivating diverse stakeholders while utilizing ingenuity and tenacity to tackle complex problems. Your goal is to ensure scholars complete the cognitive work during every lesson, take academic risks, and learn from their mistakes.
We are a team that supports our community, learns from one another, and respects each other enough to hold high expectations. We value parents as partners and model the behavior we expect because we know adults drive culture. We operate with an "all hands on deck" mentality and believe that institutions thrive with diverse people and backgrounds.
We are constantly improving. We model what it really means to receive feedback, gaining energy from the feedback cycle to make productive changes in performance. We are unapologetically college prep, making bold choices in pursuit of our mission and vision.
Candidates must share our unshakeable belief that all scholars can achieve when given the opportunity. If you are a firm believer in this mission, demonstrate determination, humility, and grit, and desire to be an expert in your field, we want to hear from you.
