James L. Collins Catholic School is a Christ-centered school that fosters life-long learners dedicated to academic excellence, discipleship, virtuous living, and servant leadership. Located on 23 acres in Corsicana, Texas, our school serves students in grades pre-K (3 and 4 years old) through 8th grade in an environment that fosters scholastic excellence based on Christian principles. Thanks to a generous endowment by James L. Collins, the school was established in 1955 to serve Corsicana.
James L Collins Catholic School is accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department. The Diocese of Dallas Office of Education, in compliance with the Texas Education Agency, designs the curriculum. JLCCS is the only private school in Corsicana accredited with the state of Texas through the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission.
Our students enjoy a challenging curriculum, flexible classroom seating, a small student to teacher ratio and a daily focus on scriptures from preschool through 8th grade. Welcome to James L. Collins Catholic School, where all faiths are welcome.
We are hiring two elementary teachers, a math teacher for 6th through 8th grade, and a PE Teacher/Athletic Director for the 2022/2023 academic year.

The classroom educator is responsible to deliver instruction that is based on the approved curricula and mission of the school and will foster the intellectual, social, physical and faith development of the students.
