Can a person teach in Pennsylvania High Schools, with only a teacher certification?

*Note: I am only speaking of, public high schools.

I heard somewhere, that in Pennsylvania (mainly at brand new high schools) people can teach there, if they get teacher certified and do not need a degree in the field of study, in which he or she, will soon teach. I also heard, that this is mainly if the high school is highly in need of teachers.

Is this true to any extent?

Thank you

Perhaps in theory, but to obtain the Teacher’s Certificate, there has to be steps leading up to that certification, I.E., a degree in something. You would likely be limited in what you could teach, perhaps even be limited to substitute teaching only. I doubt you could land a job, say, teaching Math or Science, which requires a firm foundation in that field.
