High School English/Language Arts Teacher

Our district doesn't have sign on bonuses, but our district serves low-income families. Because of this there is a loan forgiveness program that if you teach full-time for five complete and consecutive academic years and meet other qualifications, you may be eligible for forgiveness of up to a combined total of $17,500 on your Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and your Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans.
