To: Wendy Posted by Ronda. on 7/12/08 Wendy, Huntsville is a very nice city - not too large and not too small. The people here are very friendly overall. I am glad you are excited about coming! People are always coming here and then deciding to stay because they fall in love with the area! The city is constantly growing as people move here. Sometimes we would like to send a few of them back! LOL! Let me see if I can remember your questions. I think the sub pay is low. It seems to me it is about $60.00 a day. I don't know many subs so I am not sure but the last time I heard the pay was low. Private school pay is sometimes comparable to city school pay but so much depends on the size of the school. Randolph school here is a good option and we have a nice Catholic High School and Grace Luthern is another good school. The salaries in this schools should be pretty comparable to city school salary. It can be difficult to get into the city and county school system but there are some ways to assist you in doing it. One of course is to sub, another is to work for a good private school with a good reputation first and then move into the system. I teach at a private school and also work as principal/administrator. I love my job! It is a tiny private school, however, and does not pay enormously well. I work because of the love of the children and the work itself. You can't get wealthy in the school system! LOL My school isn't hiring now but I don't know what will happen once school commences. We are a very close knit group and we are very good friends. I will talk with you more if we email each other. I hope you find something you will enjoy! There are many areas you can consider so I feel you will find something. I interviewed last year and before I could call teachers back, they had already found jobs so I am not sure what the other poster was talking about but I do know you have to be willing to work into the system and sometimes that means taking a lower paying job in the private sector and then working into the system however, I do know teachers who have moved here and gotten a job in the system immediately. Take care and let me hear from you. You can click on my email and email me if you want.
