She will be looking for a teaching job near Port Arthur which is pretty low income, so we may explore programs for loan forgiveness.

Definitely look into the public interest jobs loan forgiveness program, as well as the teachers' loan forgiveness programs. The public interest program covers a broad spectrum of jobs, gov't & nonprofit, while the teachers' program is a little more narrow.
