Posible but not recomended. Both are full time jobs.
To teach at a community college you only need a MA
PHD for teaching at the University

That is completly possible. If you have a Masters, you can teach at the college level.
Being a full time professor requiers more work then just teaching the classes, such a grading and other duties which the school will requier.
But many teachers do take time in the evening to teach as adjunct professors in community or public colleges. So you could take a part time porfessorship while teaching full time in Jr. high.
Most colleges will requier a masters in your field, and being a teacher requiers a degree in education. But some will allow you if you are a teacher in a selected feild.

You don't have to know anything about teaching or have any experience teaching to become a college or university professor (sad, but true). What you DO need is an advanced degree. If you just want to teach part time, you'll need at least a master's degree. If you want to teach full-time, you need a Ph.D. Whether or not you need to be published or anything depends on exactly where you want to teach - some institutions are strictly teaching institutions, where you just teach and you aren't expected to do any research. At others, doing research is more important than teaching. I'm a college physics professor, and I love it! I have friends who teach in K-12, I could never do it though! I know from experience that I can't handle behavior problems. And in college, the kids who don't want to be there just don't show up and don't do any work, so you don't have to worry about them!

Lets just say English Grammar may not be your strength, but your answer is yes. I teach high school during the day and college several times a week at night. You will need a graduate degree to teach in a private college but they prefer Phd's. State colleges almost always recquire Phd's. This is the upside. I can take what I know about high school seniors and transfer it to college freshman and know the transitional skills I need to teach. Likewise I know exactly what the colleges will demand of my high school students and I can teach them appropriately.

I work in a Community college library. We have several adjunct (part-time) instructors who teach at the junior high or high school level.
One teaches two classes, one night a week. Another teaches 2 one night and one on another. They say it is stressful to do both but it can be done, and most adjunct instructors get paid by credit hour and the pay isn't too great.

I am a student at MSCD. I have had many professors who are teachers, even one who is a principal. If you want to teach students who are going to school to be teachers, it's actually a great benefit to be in the field. Depending on where you want to teach you may/may not need a PhD. Most of my profs only have Masters. Good luck to you!
