high school student

Secondary education attendee

A high school student is someone attending secondary school, typically ages 14–18 in the United States.

The term covers freshmen through seniors, the four years before college or entry into the workforce.

High school students face increasing pressure to build résumés for college applications.

The phrase often evokes adolescence generally—its social dynamics, homework loads, and coming-of-age experiences.
