Athletics
Peoria Unified is the fourth largest school district in Arizona with 34 elementary schools and eight high schools. We are extremely proud of our award-winning athletic programs and Unified Sports programs. If you love sports and want to be a positive mentor to students, we encourage you to apply for a coaching position in a school community that you can be proud to call your own.
Our Hiring Process
The first step is completing an online application where we will carefully collect your information online and conduct a background check.
For the safety of our students, Peoria Unified employees are
required to possess and maintain
an active Arizona IVP Fingerprint Card upon hire. This card
belongs to you and will require
renewal every (6) years. For more information and how to obtain
a fingerprint card, please
visit the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) here:

You may also contact our Human Resources department for
guidance.
Once the campus administrator reviews your information, they may contact you to further discuss your qualifications and interests as well as set up future appointments.
Next, you may be invited to an in-person interview where peers along with site leadership can learn more about you. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet future colleagues and take a tour of your campus.
Successful volunteers and coaching candidates will receive an offer from Human Resources with details about responsibilities and compensation.
Once the background check, interviews, and offer of employment are completed, Human Resources will schedule a New Hire paperwork session to notarize and complete your employment or volunteer paperwork. Once New Hire is complete, Human Resources will inform the school site that you are cleared to coach, volunteer, or support the school athletics in whatever capacity you are selected for.
