Human Resources
Wimberley ISD is an awesome place to work, featuring a supportive community, engaged parents and the hardest-working students and teachers in the state. There is so much to love about Wimberley, Texas, known as a "Little Bit of Heaven." Our quaint town is an easy commute from San Marcos, New Braunfels, Dripping Springs and Boerne. Because of this ideal location, combined with natural beauty and a close-knit community, we continue to draw the best Teachers in Texas.
Once you have visited the WISD website and viewed open positions, please be sure to go to the online application (TalentEd) and apply for positions of interest. You can email our human resources staff with any questions regarding employment with the District.
