Meet Mesilla Valley Christian School
Founded in 1974, Mesilla Valley Christian School (MVCS) serves 425 students by providing a Christ-centered education that integrates a Biblical worldview into its curriculum. The teaching and values emphasize academic excellence alongside spiritual development. The school offers a range of academic programs, extracurricular activities, and sports programs to provide a well-rounded educational experience for its students.
Their mission is to support the home, church, and community by equipping the next generation of godly servant-leaders with an exceptional Christ-centered, college preparatory education.
Opportunity
Mesilla Valley Christian School (MVCS) had a strong team with one vital piece missing — they needed a Head of School. This person would lead the entire faculty and staff with various responsibilities spanning students' social, spiritual, and academic development. Once placed, the Head of School would be the primary leader ensuring the overall successful operation of the ministry.
Staff at MVCS are defined as being sincerely called, spiritually mature, and specifically prepared. To fit this standard, MVCS would need a born-again Christian with a passion for the Christian school philosophy of education. A skilled communicator and relational leader would thrive within the existing team culture and propel the team forward.
