There are two steps involved when applying for a Certified position.

  2. A Screening interview is conducted.  (see below)

Note: You will not be considered for any openings unless these two steps have been completed.


Application Materials


  • A completed application.
  • An unofficial copy of your transcript(s) of university credits.
  • A college or university placement file, or three recommendation letters from previous employers.
  • A copy of your current valid Arizona certificate.
  • A copy of your current valid fingerprint clearance card.

All application materials should be submitted to the Heber-Overgaard Unified School District Office. You may deliver, e-mail, fax, or mail your application to our Human resources department, please see contact information.


Screening Interview


Individual screening interviews are scheduled by the head of the individual department and or the Human Resources office.  Interviews will be conducted in person unless other arrangements have been made.


Classified Application Process


Classified Personnel includes all support staff in positions that do not require a teaching certificate to perform their job.  These positions include clerical, Maintenance, bus drivers, classroom aides and many other areas of employment.

  • The classified application is available for download, and can be printed and completed.
  • If you have submitted an application within the last year, you will need to submit a Qualifications Sheet to advise HR of your desire to have your application considered.
  • You may deliver, mail, fax, or e-mail your application to the Human Resources office.
  • The entire application packet must be completed.  A resume may be submitted along with the completed application; however the employment portion of the application must be completely filled out to be considered.
  • Current employees do not need to fill out an entire application packet to apply for an opening.  A Qualifications Sheet is the only form required for a current employee to be considered for an open position.

Fingerprint Requirements


All classified employees hired by the Heber-Overgaard Unified School District #6 are fingerprinted as a condition of employment.  The cost of that process is billed to the employee.  All employees are considered conditional employees until the fingerprint check is finalized.
