High School Teachers

High school teachers help students study subjects more closely than they did in elementary school. High school teachers use the methods of lecture and presentation to teach subjects such as English, history, math, science, and foreign languages.

High School Teachers are in the Education and Training career cluster and the Teaching and Training pathway.
