Secondary Education
As high school students are looking for the right college to attend, high schools
are looking for the right teachers to educate the minds of our future. The Peru State
College School of Education offers secondary teacher preparation programs in various
fields and subjects including; art, English/language arts, music, math, natural science,
social science, and business, marketing, and information technology (BMIT). All of
the programs endorse the student to teach the subject or field in grades 7-12 in the
state of Nebraska unless otherwise indicated. High school is the time when adolescents
decide what they will do with their skills to better our future society. If you have
a desire to help students discover their purpose, Secondary Education is the program
for you.
