Fulton County Schools is recruiting teachers for Alpharetta, Milton and Johns Creek campuses through a virtual open house on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

The session runs from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., as the North Atlanta Star first reported. The Star's report includes salary details and a list of current openings.

The district's jobs portal lists a registration link for the Alpharetta, Milton and Johns Creek session. A separate virtual open house for Sandy Springs and Roswell schools is listed for Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Fulton County Schools asks candidates to submit an application before attending either event. Career changers who do not yet hold a teaching certificate can still apply. The district asks non-certified applicants to upload transcripts and test scores so staff can evaluate an alternative certification pathway.

Registration for the Nov. 10 session is open on the district's jobs portal.
