SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS
Thomasville City Schools substitute teachers are an important part of our educating children. When teachers are out of the classroom due to professional growth and development or other factors, our students deserve the continuity of instruction. Our substitutes carry on that instruction as the teacher.
Currently, substitute teachers must have the following requirements:
- At least a high school diploma.
- Forty-eight (48) semester hours of post high school work is preferred; however, it is not required.
- A transcript must be provided and completion of the App-Garden University virtual course.
