Yes - mostly compound words such as fishhead or fishhook.
I also find that words like hitchhiker and withhold falls into this category.
I've been told by my elemetary schoo teacher that fishhook was the only word in the English language that has a double h. But at that moment, the movie, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was coming out, and I corrected him.
Your elementary school teacher also forgot withheld, withhold etc.

First of all a consonant is any letter that is out side of the set of letters (A,E,I,O,U).A double consonant refers to two (2) identical consonants, one after the other (or side by side), typically written as such to maintain the phonetic structure of a written word as it changes from one form to another.
