I plan to go on to a doctoral program in school psychology or educational psychology. I'd like to get involved in the psychological services of a public school system, and/or serve as a consultant for a system that serves predominantly minority students (like my old one). I also want to conduct educational research and perhaps get a professorship in an education department at a liberal arts college 
Right now I'm a research assistant to my statistics professor, and I'm applying for the National Institute of Mental Health's undergradate research program for minorities at my school (NIMH-COR). I also worked at a summer camp last summer for kids ages 5-12 and am going back this summer; I am a Kaplan SAT tutor; and I volunteer at a local elementary school.

When you get a chance, research the schools where you're thinking about getting your doctorate from. Check out their requirements for admission. Some may want applicants to have a certain number of credits in Education.
In either case, I think having an Education minor would be a good step for you. That way, you will have even more options for later on in your academic path.
