Generally, to be fully qualified as a high school teacher, you need a double BA in the subject you wish to teach and secondary education. To teach middle school, you need a BA in primary education along with special qualifying tests to teach middle school - it usually helps to have minors in the subjects you wish to teach.
Now, there are school districts that will take on unqualified teachers and provide training while on the job. This usually means earning less money, but it does mean you can jump right into work and earning a qualification all at the same time. If you call your local department of education, they should be able to point you in the direction of schools/districts that offer similar schemes.
