I am going to college right now, majoring in Health/ Minor in Kinesiology. My Dream job would be to just teach the required health class all high school students must take. I love health and love kids and the idea of having school holidays off is very attracting!!

My question is, At my higschool, ( small town) our health teacher was also a P.E. Teacher ( or gym class teacher, whatever you wanna call it) I do not want to teach gym class or coach. I want to focus on the textbook aspects of health and remain in the classroom!!!

I am planning on moving to the Dallas, TX area after i graduate and obtain my teachers certificate through our local Education Service Center. I was just wondering if all health teachers MUST also teach a Gym class or coach. I JUST want to be Health teacher, so i wanted to see if that was an option!!

Also, what are other places i can teach health at?
