The Rockland Public Schools (RPS) empower students to excel, lead, and become dynamic and successful members of our global society.

The Rockland School system is dedicated to recruiting and retaining the finest teaching staff available to serve its 2,600 students. Toward that end, the Rockland School Committee, School Administration, and Rockland Education Association have worked diligently to establish truly competitive salary, benefits, and working conditions for our professional and support staff.

Rockland’s starting salaries are among the highest in the area. The maximum pay scale for veteran teachers is also extremely competitive. Top pay is also complemented by a generous longevity benefit. For those so inclined, there is opportunity for additional work in after-school programs and curriculum development where the hourly rate of pay is one of the highest in Eastern Massachusetts.

Rockland teachers participate in a benefit program that is second to none. The town pays seventy-nine percent of the employee’s health insurance, and dental and vision components are available as well. Teachers can apply for tuition reimbursement payments (up to 6 credits per year at up to $450 per credit), and a no-cost route to professional recertification is offered through in-house professional development workshops, paid attendance at educational conferences, and system-sponsored graduate coursework.  To review current benefits, please visit the Town of Rockland’s Benefits page.

The Rockland School Committee, Administration, and Educators’ Association wholeheartedly embrace the concept of the importance and value of the teacher as the fundamental component of good education. The dedicated practitioner is the keystone of American education.
