I interviewed with the principal, both assistant principals, and a few classroom teachers. I had two seperate interviews. I was asked the exact same questions in my second interview. I was offered the position but after not hearing from the school or school district for over a month I went to Pasco. I was onboarded at Pasco within a day of being offered a position. Pasco also starts you off at a higher salary.

Had to fill out an online application and give two references (supervisors). Then I called the HOST Admin office and got everything sorted out. Went in for my interview, but they said I wasn't expected and to come back the next day. The second time, my interviewer was running late, and then they had me fill out a paper application.
