Students who plan to teach in high school should declare Secondary Education as a second major. In addition, these students are encouraged to plan for flexibility by seeking certification in more than one area. For an endorsement to teach a particular subject, South Dakota currently requires that a student pass the PRAXIS exam in that subject area.
