Does teaching ever get overbearingly boring or feel like a repeat of school after a while, and what are ways to get involved?
I am a Junior in High school who participated in many activities. I do Cross Country, Track, and soon start Wrestling. Other extracurricular activities for me include Robotics, FFA, and involvement in the church as well as hobbies being around pets on our farm and playing musical instruments.

Teaching as an education field is not boring.
There is use if curriculum or scheme of work for each term.
Teaching might involve a particular methodology such as Montessori, which continues to evolve, requiring continuous learning by the teacher.
The teacher prepares new lecture notes and materials after some period passes enabling the teacher to change teaching contents - like new examples, new features and added contents.
Subject teachers might teach different classes or departments at different terms or sessions to experience new ideas, and avoid monotony.
Teachers continue to self develop through promotion. Courses or preps are taken for each promotion.
Teaching is not boring as meeting of new students, experiences and personalities is always possible.
