Educators Invited to Diversity Hiring Fair

On March 1st from 10am to noon, SPHERE will host its annual hiring fair at the Watkinson School at 180 Bloomfield Avenue in Hartford.  Candidates of color are strongly encouraged to attend.

SPHERE is a consortium of eleven area independent schools who have joined together to protect and promote diversity of their campuses.  SPHERE schools include Avon Old Farms, The Cobb School Montessori, Ethel Walker, Kingswood-Oxford, Loomis Chaffee, Miss Porter’s, Pomfret, Renbrook, Suffield Academy, Watkinson, and Westminster.  All eleven will be represented at SPHERE’s Diversity Hiring Fair.  

SPHERE founded in the early 1970s has redefined itself over the years, but its original mission remains firm: to work individually and collectively to achieve diverse student bodies and school staffs and foster respect and understanding between and beyond all the people who are part of these unique, independent school communities.
