What's it like subbing in Mehlville School District?
Substitute Teacher Aaron Poe shares what it's like working in the Mehlville School District. Poe has primarily served as a long-term substitute at Buerkle Middle School and Mehlville High School. His favorite part of his job as a substitute teacher is building relationships with colleagues, students and families. After he started subbing, Poe began pursuing a degree in education and will graduate this spring.
“Anyone looking to make a change in their career that wants to give back, working as a substitute is a great way to get started,” Poe said.
