Information and Application Procedures

Thank you for your interest in applying for educational positions at Seward Public Schools.  We are very excited about the education we are able to provide approximately 1,350 students from Seward and the surrounding communities.  The employees of Seward Public Schools, in cooperation with parents and patrons, live by what is so importantly stated in our motto, “Every Student, Every Day, A Success.”

            The School District of Seward is located 20 miles west of Lincoln in Seward and Butler Counties and covers 245 square miles.  The following communities are included within the boundaries of the school district: Garland, Goehner, Seward, Staplehurst, Tamora and Ulysses.

Students attending Seward Public Schools attend classes in one of three school buildings:  Seward Elementary, grades PreK-4; Seward Middle School, grades 5-8; Seward High School, grades 9-12, and an Alternative Education Center for secondary students located in the middle school facility.  We understand that we would not be able to educate these students without a quality team of employees including teachers, administrators, and support staff.  We appreciate your interest in becoming a member of our team!
