Montpelier Roxbury Public Schools sit in the middle of the progressive city of Montpelier, Vermont, the state’s capital. While offering a wide variety of cultural experiences that range from music to theater to lecture series in Montpelier itself, we are also a 40 minute drive to Burlington and right down the road from multiple world-class ski areas. Would you rather a rural lifestyle? Local lakes, hiking trails, nature centers in Central Vermont offer ample opportunity for year-round outdoor activity that we are known for around the globe. All this equates to Montpelier and Roxbury being ideal spots to live, work, and play.

MRPS celebrates the diversity of our school and local communities including race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We welcome candidates representing the diversity of the world in our educational program, policies and procedures, staff hiring, and other school-administered programs.
