Launch your career and
make an impact!Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School is partnering with HBCU institutions to offer a one-year fellowship that provides real-world work experience and mentorship beyond college graduation. This program will introduce future African-American educators graduating from HBCU institutions to the world of independent schools and help them make an impact in the lives of students.
A growing number of students from diverse backgrounds and experiences are attending independent schools throughout the country.
Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School has recognized the need for independent schools to aggressively recruit African American educators and administrators who can relate to the needs of young people who come from a range of backgrounds but have a common experience in our changing social environment. We know that there are excellent future educators who can help us help our students reach their full potential. These future educators are being trained by prolific Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We want to connect with these young men and women as early as possible to help them make the impact on the education and social communities we know they have the ability to make.
