Teacher Academy
Teacher Academy is a two year program for high school students who are interested in pursuing a career in teaching. This program, hosted by Glen Lake and the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District's Career Tech Center, is directed by Mrs. Susan O'Connor. Currently, I mentor this program for Glen Lake juniors and seniors. We highly encourage all students interested in teaching to give strong consideration to the Teacher Academy program which offers placement directly in classrooms.
