Welcome to Human Resources for
Torrington Public Schools
It is the vision of the HR Department for Torrington Public Schools to ensure that each school has the highest quality of staff to support a culturally responsive learning environment for each and every student in order to provide them with a strong foundation to be productive citizens and critical thinkers in the 21st century.
We will achieve our vision by meeting the needs of all employees and following the full life cycle of each employee which includes: Recruitment, selection, onboarding, training & development, performance management, retention, succession planning and exiting.
The HR department serves the schools to ensure that each and every student has an outstanding teacher and that each and every building has an outstanding leader. It is also our role to ensure that instructional and non-instructional support staff are equally outstanding in support of students, families, and in support of the district mission, vision and goals. <click here to see the Torrington Public Schools Strategic Plan.>
