Farmington Public Schools

The mission of the Farmington Public Schools is to enable all students to achieve academic and personal excellence, exhibit persistent effort, and live as resourceful, inquiring and contributing global citizens. 

We celebrate and honor strong and caring relationships among faculty, students, families and the entire community. 

Our commitment to student-centered teaching and learning is evident in classrooms every day. Equity and excellence are the hallmarks of our district's continuous improvement efforts.

Farmington teachers are innovative, resourceful, talented and fully committed to their students. 

As a district, we seek new faculty who want to be learners in a collaborative culture that values multiple perspectives. Our Core Beliefs (see website) represent our shared commitments to each other and our students. 

FPS invests in its teachers through job-embedded and personalized professional learning, including many opportunities for leadership development. All teachers have dedicated time for teaming with their grade- or course-level colleagues in an effort to promote collaborative inquiry and data-driven instructional planning.

Farmington offers a very competitive salary and benefits package designed to attract highly qualified candidates. Tuition reimbursement is just one of the ways in which teachers are encouraged to continue to pursue career development options.

Farmington's Vision of the Graduate, established in 2010, articulates the following transferable thinking and learning goals for all students: 

• Critical Thinking and Reasoning
• Problem Solving and Innovation
• Communication and Collaboration
• Self-Direction and Resourcefulness

High school students are encouraged to pursue a Capstone Project that showcases the attainment of these skills, one of which is an Education Internship. Students are paired with a Farmington teacher for practicum experience and also attend a class to further their knowledge in the field of child development and learning theory.
