Student Teaching

Placement Requests

Houston County School District is excited to work with candidates seeking placement for student-teaching, field observation, internships, and practicum experiences.  Placements provide the opportunity for college students to be mentored by skilled cooperating teachers. Placements are based on availability; however, we make every effort to grant specific requests. To ensure proper placement, please contact melissa.shipp@hcbe.net in Human Resources. The HR department will then communicate with individual schools and principals about your placement. 

All colleges/universities must have a current signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Houston County School District before a placement can be secured.

Candidates who do not hold a Pre-Service Certificate with the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, will need to submit a Background Consent Form.

Please allow at least two weeks for placement.
