teacher? I'm a junior in highschool and I want to become a photography teacher. I'm not sure if I should major in Education or Photgraphy itself.

I suggest a double major Photography and Education:

Here's some info for PSU [I'm biased I go there]

Photography: http://www.sova.psu.edu/photo.html
Elementary Ed: http://bulletins.psu.edu/bulletins/bluebook/baccalaureate_degree_programs.cfm?letter=E&program =elem.htm
Secondary Ed: http://bulletins.psu.edu/bulletins/bluebook/baccalaureate_degree_programs.cfm?letter=S&program =seced.htm

These days you're better off with 2 degrees anymore. Employers are actually looking for people with multiple degrees.

Unless you want to go to an art school then you'd be stuck with just Photography unless you decided later to go to another school.
