In America， after junior high school comes senior high school， which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take certain subjects like English， social studies， math， science， and physical education. In addition， they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education. Elective subjects include technology， music， art， and foreign languages.
Each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items. This convenience saves students from carrying textbooks， and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects.
Cheating in any form is strictly prohibited in American schools. And in fact， high school students usually don’t cheat. A student caught in plagiarism， forgery， or copying another student faces severe discipline， even expulsion.
在美国，初中学业一结束就进入高中，高中包括9到12年级。学生们要完成某些必修课，如：英语、社会学、数学、自然科学和体育。此外，学生们选修一些课程来完成高中教育，选修科目有科技、音乐、美术和外语。
每位学生在学校都有自己的储物柜，用来存放书本或私人物品。这很方便，学生们不需要携带课本，而且还使得他们有个小小的空间，可以装饰海报及心爱之物。
任何形式的作弊在美国学校里都是严令禁止的。事实上，高中生们一般不会作弊。若学生在剽窃、弄虚作假或抄其他学生的作业时被发现，都会受到严厉的处分，甚至是开除。
School Activities
学校活动
Each school holds certain yearly activities for the entire school body， such as homecoming， prom night and holiday celebrations.
Homecoming is celebrated each fall， usually on a weekend， and events leading up to it may last all week. While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school， it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen， and ends with a football game and school dance.
The prom is a formal dance for students in grades 11 and 12， and is generally anticipated as the most important social event of the school year. It can also be a time of anxiety， as boys have to work up the courage to ask a date to the prom， and girls hope the right boy invites them. These couples dress in formal clothes—girls in long gowns， boys in suits. At the prom， students dance， have snacks and drinks， and chat. Prom usually ends with a Prom King and Queen being announced and crowned on stage before an envious audience.
各学校每年都会举办一些全校性活动，如：返校节、学年舞会、节日庆典等。
返校节在每年秋季举办，通常选在周末，相关活动可能持续一周。每所学校举办返校节的方式有所不同，不过通常都包括游行、返校节“舞会国王”与“舞会王后”的加冕，并以橄榄球赛及全校性舞会来压轴。
学年舞会是为11和12年级学生举办的正式舞会。学生通常会把它看成是学年中最重要的社交活动。这也是令人焦躁不安的时刻，因为男孩子们得鼓足勇气寻找舞伴去参加这个舞会，而女孩子们则希望自己的意中人能向自己发出邀请。男生女生要着正式服装（女孩子穿长礼服，男孩子着西装）。舞会上，学生们翩翩起舞、吃点心、喝饮料、轻松地闲聊。舞会结尾，公布“舞会国王”及“舞会王后”的名字。在一群艳羡的观众前，“国王”和“王后”登台加冕。
