Employment
Working at Vianney means being part of something bigger than a job.
Every teacher, coach and staff member plays a role in helping young men discover their abilities, deepen their faith, build strong relationships and grow into men of character.
And because Vianney is built on the Marianist tradition of family spirit, the relationships here don’t stop with students. Our employees are part of a close-knit community where people know one another, support one another and share a common mission.
If that sounds like the kind of place where you’d like to work, we’d like to meet you!
School Mission
St. John Vianney High School is dedicated to forming young men for spiritual, academic and personal excellence in the Catholic, Marianist tradition.
Our mission guides everything we do.
Vianney is a Catholic school sponsored by the Society of Mary-Province of the United States known as Marianists. Together with Marianist schools around the world, we believe education is about forming the whole person—mind, body and spirit.
Our goal isn’t simply to prepare students for college. We want them to become thoughtful, capable young men grounded in faith, connected to others and ready to use their gifts in service to the world.
Make a difference at Vianney!

Our son had zero interest in going anywhere but the public high school with his friends. We highly encouraged him to consider Vianney after we attended an event the previous year. He was so impressed by teachers he met on his Shadow Visit, that he knew this was the place for him.- Parent

My son chose Vianney. It was his decision. It was a great decision. Vianney has kept his flame alive for his faith, in his understated way. And, certain teachers have led my son to accomplish things maybe he couldn’t see the point behind, but will, and indeed, does, even if he doesn’t admit it!- Parent

My son’s confidence grew and this was a direct development from his time at Vianney. Other friends and family noticed as well and commented that they didn’t see that in their sons who attended other schools. This will forever be a part of my son and we thank the faculty at Vianney for helping instill that in him.
- Parent
Class of 2025
The phrase “Men of Character and Accomplishment” is a great motto for the school, but I didn’t give it much thought when my son first started at Vianney. It hit me around Christmas Break his first year when we were out shopping and I noticed the way he engaged with strangers and workers at the stores… “no, sir,” “thank you, ma’am” was a constant from him.
- Parent
Class of 2025
The impact the educators have had on our son is truly immeasurable, but not just from reading, writing, math, etc. The lasting impact they will have on him is instilling the confidence and humility in him to lead by example in a manner accepting of all those around him.

Marianist Education
As a Marianist-sponsored school, we are guided by the Marianist Charism.
A charism is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit, working in and through us for the benefit of others.The Five Pillars of the Marianist Charism are:
- People of Faith
- Leaders in Mission
- Mary as our Model
- People of Inclusivity
- People of Community
To this end, Vianney affirms the characteristics of Marianist education, specifically to:
• Educate for formation in faith,
• Provide an integral, quality education,
• Educate in the family spirit,
• Educate for service, justice and peace and
• Educate for adaptation and change.
This approach is summarized in the thought of the Marianists’ founder Blessed William Joseph Chaminade: “Through the Mother to the Son,” and “we teach only in order to educate, and we educate in order to Christianize.”
Marianist Witness Statement
All employees agree to hold in trust the Catholic and Marianist Mission of the School. Our Catholic, Marianist education includes formation and transformation of our students. Therefore, it is essential that the Employee who serves in Catholic education proclaims Jesus Christ and is a witness to the Gospel Values. The Employee must at all times, witness by their public behaviors, actions and words a life consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Any action by the Employee that brings disgrace or harm to the reputation of the School or is contradictory to the Mission is cause for disciplinary action up to and including suspension, termination or non-renewal.
Teaching Philosophy
The teacher is a model for student behavior.
At Vianney, educators model the character, compassion, responsibility and faith we hope to develop in our students. Teachers challenge young men academically while recognizing that education is also about helping students understand themselves, their responsibilities to others and the kind of men they want to become.
That happens in classrooms, but it also happens during retreats, liturgies, activities, practices, conversations in the hallway and countless ordinary moments throughout the school day.
That’s why teaching at Vianney is more than delivering curriculum.
It’s a ministry—and an opportunity to make a lasting difference in a young man’s life.
