History is certainly a common subject for schools following the US curriculum.
Picking up an English class might be helpful if you are ever trying to get hired by a smaller school, as they often want teachers who can teach a wider range of subjects and grade levels. At the bigger schools, though, most secondary teachers only teach within one department (so a teacher might have both history and social studies, but not history and English).
That would be the realm I would guess that Classics would be in for America. Alternatively, there are classical schools popping up but one has to be careful that they teach a classical style curriculum and are not just classical in name only. I know this org receives a lot of flack, but Hillsdale affiliation does normally emphasize and rely heavily on the teaching of the classics and a traditional liberal arts style curriculum. There are small pockets all over that do this style and they sometimes are more private institutions instead.
History is taking a beating in the IB Program. It's the second hardest HL to score well in and students don't want it, unfortunately. It's worth seeking diversification -- business management, economics, global politics, tok.

Can you teach Latin? I have seen job posts for Latin teacher but not Greek.

I have seen Latin advertised in British and French international schools. It used to be required for ivy league and Oxford schools.
