Dear Mr. /Mrs. Last Name,

I am writing to express my interest in and excitement about a possible High School teaching position in your reputed District schools. I am also attaching my resume with this cover letter.

My academic background thoroughly augments my student teaching experience, giving me a high level of confidence in my ability to teach students in various grades. Furthermore, given my liberal arts background, I am comfortable integrating art, music and technology into a traditional curriculum where appropriate.

I firmly believe in being involved in my school community well beyond the classroom so that I may provide a supportive and effective learning environment for each child in my care.

I have enclosed a copy of a completed application, an unofficial transcript, and three letters of recommendation. An official transcript and additional references are available upon request.

Sincerely,

Signature,
