American High School Life

High School
In America, after middle school comes high school, which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take certain subjects like English, social studies, math, science, and physical ecation. In addition, they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school ecation. Electives include subjects in 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 ing another student faces severe discipline, even expulsion.

School Activities
Each school holds certain yearly activities for the entire school body, such as homecoming, prom night, holiday celebrations, etc.

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. Some students even arrange a limousine and driver for their group of friends to arrive in style! 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.

Besides hosting events for holidays such as the Fourth of July and Halloween, indivial high schools often have their own special events. One day might be 「Inside Out/Backwards Day,」 where students and teachers should wear their clothes reversed all day, perhaps walk and speak backwards, and even go to classes in opposite order. And some schools hold contests where, if certain academic goals are met, the principal will kiss a pig, shave his mustache, or dress as a woman for the day.

Sports
Most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events, and all students are encouraged to be involved in athletics. Schools often offer football, baseball and softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer. Some may even have sports like golf, swimming, gymnastics and cross-country skiing.

Jobs

Many high school students have part-time jobs by the age of 15 or 16, some even earlier. Their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns, but later they will likely get a job at a fast-food restaurant, video store, or clothing shop.

Driving
Sixteen years old is legal driving age in most states, and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can. Some parents allow their children to drive a family vehicle, and may even buy a car as a graation present. Others prefer that their sons and daughters earn enough to purchase a used vehicle. Regardless, many teenagers feel it』s a necessity to own a car, and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive.

高中
在美國，初中學業一結束就進入高中，包括9到12年級。學生們要完成某些必修課，如英語、社會學、數學、自然科學和體育，此外，學生們選修一些課程來完成高中教育。選修科目有應用科學、音樂、美術和外語。

每位學生在學校都有自己的儲物櫃，用來存放書本或私人物品。這下可方便了，學生們勿需攜帶課本，而且還使得他們有個小小的空間，可以裝點以海報及心愛之物。

任何形式的作弊在美國學校里都是嚴令禁止的，事實上，高中生們一般都不作弊，若學生被抓到剽竊、弄虛作假，或抄襲其他學生的作業，都會受到嚴厲的處分，甚至是開除。
學校活動

各學校每年都會舉辦一些全校性活動，如返校節、學年舞會（高中或大學在學年末舉辦的正式舞會）、節日慶典，等等。

返校節在每年秋季舉辦，通常選在周末，相關活動可能持續一周。每所學校舉辦返校節的方式有所不同，不過通常都會包括遊行、給返校節「國王」與「王後」加冕，並以橄欖球賽及全校性舞會來壓軸。

學年舞會是為11及12年級學生舉辦的正式舞會。學生通常會把它看成是學年中最重要的社交活動，不過也有些人為此焦躁不安，因為男孩子們得鼓足勇氣找舞伴去參加這個舞會，而女孩子們則希望自己的意中人能向自己發出邀請。這些情侶們要身著正式服裝（女孩子穿長禮服，男孩子著西裝）。有些學生甚至弄來豪華轎車和司機，載著一群朋友去參加舞會，時髦得很！舞會上，學生們可以翩翩起舞、吃著點心、喝著飲料，還可輕松閑聊。舞會結尾，就會公布「舞會國王」及「舞會王後」的名字，然後在一群艷羨的觀眾前，為他們倆登台加冕。

除了舉辦日慶祝活動，如7月4日（美國的國慶節：編者注）及萬聖節，個別高中還常舉辦自己獨特的活動。有那麼一天，叫「反穿衣/顛倒日」，這一天，學生和老師們都得把衣服反過來穿，可能走路說話都得倒著來，甚至去教室都得朝反方向走。有些學校則舉辦辯論賽，如果達到某些教學目標，那校長就得吻一頭豬，刮掉胡須，或者一整天都著女裝。

體育
大多數高中至少有一支球隊參加當地的各種大賽，校方鼓勵所有的學生參加運動。學校通常有橄欖球、棒球及壘球、籃球、排球、網球和足球，有些學校甚至還提供高爾夫、游泳、體操及越野滑雪項目。

工作

許多高中生在十五六歲就開始做兼職工作了，有些甚至更早。最初他們一般是做臨時保姆或是割割草坪，不過後來可能會在快餐店、錄像出租店或服裝店找到一份工作。
駕駛
大多數州的法定駕車年齡為16歲，學生們總想能盡快擁有一輛車。一些父母允許自己的孩子駕駛自家車；有些甚至買車當畢業禮物送給孩子；另外還有些父母則希望自己的兒女能自己掙錢買輛二手車。不管怎麼說，許多青少年還是覺得有輛車是必要的，只要能開上車，干什麼都行。
