A Bachelor of Science Education major in Mathematics. You should know math well, that is, algebra, trigo, calculus and geometry, before you can teach one of them. These are correlated and complimentary.

Very few people teach only geometry, so you would probably have to take a variety of math classes, in addition to the general classes you would need to get a college degree (which varies by college, but usually includes things like English, history, etc.), and often courses in education as well.

you should get a bachelor's degree with a major in mathematics . . depending on the school you're attending, the courses you have to take may vary . . . you should also consider getting a minor in education . . that way you'll get the education courses you will need in order to get your teaching license . . .
also at the high school level, you're not really restricted to one level of math, unless you are hired to specifically be a geometry teacher . . . most often, you'll have to teach algebra or trigonometry as well . . . this is my 6th year teaching high school mathematics and the courses that I teach vary from year to year . . it just depends on scheduling needs . .

Well it depends on where you go to school. Obviously you'll have to take courses on teaching all the way through secondary education (they don't have elementary geometry teachers). You'll have to take lots of math (duh lol) and you'll have to take the liberal arts (all the other classes, science, English, foreign language, etc.) that will be required not only from the University you attend but also the college of education.

Calculus I, II, and III - Differential Equations - Linear Algebra - Intro to Analysis - Modern Geometry - Abstract Algebra - and your choice of 400 (senior level) math courses

Basically you 'll have to go for Mathmatics as your major where you 'll have to take all forms of it, then later on you might end up teaching various courses in Math, including Geometry.

All of them. You get a teaching degree.
