High school is the name used in some parts of the world, particularly in Scotland, Northern America, and Oceania to describe an institution that provides all or part of secondary education. The actual term "high school" originated in Scotland with the world's oldest being the Royal High School (Edinburgh) in 1505, and spread to the New World owing to the high prestige enjoyed by the Scottish educational system. (In the eighteenth century, Scotland had the world's most literate population.) A number of countries engaged Scottish educators to develop their state education systems. The Royal High School was used as a model for the first public high school in the United States, the English High School founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1821. The precise stage of schooling provided by a high school differs from country to country, and may vary within the same jurisdiction. In all of New Zealand and Malaysia along with parts of Australia and Canada, high school is synonymous with secondary school, and encompasses the entire secondary stage of education.

Get involved! That's the best advice I could give. Last year I was a freshman in High School, and I really regret that I didn't get involved right away. Tryout for sports teams, join clubs, or try out a new activity. Last year I was on my school's track and field team and I had such a blast, I wish that I had tried other activities. This year I was involved in two sports, three clubs, and my school's leadership team. All of these were great activities and I met so many new people. Another tip, be friendly and put yourself out there. Say 'hi' to the people in your classes and introduce yourself. Chances are you will quickly meet people who you can hang out with. During your lunch period go up to a friendly looking group and introduce… [cont.] Answered by xcemma - Mon Jun 9 17:11:50 2008 How do I start a high school debate team? Q. I'm a sophomore at a high school in the Seattle Schools District, and my high school doesn't have a debate team. I'm the first at my school to actually pursue the creation of a debate team here, but I have no idea where to start. No teacher at the school has much debate experience. I myself have little experience, and has never competed in a competition. How do I start a debate team at my school? What do I need to learn to teach others? What about the competitions?

Q. I have never participated in high school sports and I've always wanted to do track and cross country but never got the chance to. Although, I am attending this high school in college program where I attend community college and receive both high school and college credits at the same time but I can still join high school activities. Is it even worth it? Or do other things such as community service and jobs too as important to them? Asked by Bea - Wed Jul 16 23:38:11 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The purpose of extracurricular involvement is so that colleges can evaluate your committment, teamwork (common goal), and general involvement in your school community. These factors can easily be transferred to the college community, which is what the colleges want. If you are not athletically oriented, then try being a manager or stats person or join clubs/groups at your school. Volunteering is demonstrating your character in a larger community, like your town, state or nation. Try to demonstrate both extracurricular and volunteering. I am a school counselor and have worked with hundreds of students and parents. The same questions about how to find the right college or plan for college keep coming up. I decided to set up some… [cont.] Answered by collegeboundcoach - Thu Jul 17 18:40:55 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "High School" See also:
