What is certificated employment?

 Working for the Lancaster School District offers a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of students and families. The district values collaboration, professional growth, and a supportive environment where every role contributes to student success. Lancaster employs both certificated staff—such as teachers, counselors, and school psychologists—who are required to hold credentials or licenses, and classified staff, who provide essential support services in roles such as clerical, maintenance, instructional aides, and more. Together, these teams create a strong foundation for academic and social-emotional growth. The Human Resource Services Department plays a vital role in this process by recruiting, supporting, and retaining high-quality employees, ensuring all staff are equipped to foster a safe, inclusive, and effective learning environment for every student.
