About

• Description
• Trinity Catholic High School prepares students for life after high school by teaching them virtue and knowledge as they will need to be contributing members of society based on the Gospel message and Roman Catholic teaching. Trinity Catholic High School located in Ocala, Florida, serves families in the 9th–12th grades.

• The four-year program of religion courses is a primary element within the larger program of faith formation at TCHS. Our mission is to graduate students that have deepened their relationship with Jesus Christ and who are prepared to faithfully live out their Catholic faith as adults in our contemporary world. TCHS follows the Diocese of Orlando Curriculum Standards for Religion, which are aligned to the USCCB Catechetical Framework for high schools; teachers are expected to design and teach their own courses which achieve these standards. The religion curriculum is focused on the formation of virtues necessary for students to grow in their relationship with God and to understand and live the Catholic faith in the fullest depth of its expression. A religion teacher at TCHS should anticipate responsibilities that include ministries besides teaching, for example, planning and leading class retreats as part of a team, leading student Bible studies, or small groups as part of the discipleship-focused campus ministry program, helping leading student service projects or charity drives, etc. Our religion teachers work with the Campus Minister as an integral part of our student's spiritual formation.

The candidate will take on the role of spiritual leadership, pastoral care, and faith formation for students, staff, and families; promote Catholic identity across campus life. As a contracted employee the Campus Minister is bound by the contents of your contract as well as the Diocese of Orlando Employee Manual and the TCHS Faculty Handbook which both require the employee signature.
