Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school，they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive，students would rather loan(租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.
American students go to schools in different ways. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age，and also pass their state driver's exams，they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day，students take six or seven classes. They must take science，math，English and social studies. They can choose art，homemaking，fashion design and other classes. In some schools，students are asked to take one or more of the following special classes: health education，physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for these special classes.
The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school，many students take part in in colorful activities，including football，basketball，baseball and soccer or clubs，such as speech，school newspaper，photograph or student government.
