JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL in the USA

There are over 16,256 junior high school or middle schools in the USA, for kkids aged from about 11 to 14. Teenagers aged from about 15 to 18 go to high schools. In the USA, kids go to school from Monday to Friday. School starts from 8 or 9 am and finishes at 3 or 4 pm.

The students go to school in a traditional yellow school bus.

PROM NIGH

A "prom" is a formal dance to celebrate the end of middle school. Boys wear elegant suits, girls wear long dresses.

SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS

Many middle schools have cheerleaders. These girls learn chants and complicated acrobatics. They "cheer" the school's sports teams during games.

GRADUATION DAY

When you finish middle school, there is a big graduation ceremony, with speeches. The school Principal gives you your diploma. All the students wear a cap ("mortarboard") and gown. The gowns are usually black, blue or red. At the end of the ceremony everybody throws their caps up in the air!

I like Junior high School in the USA because they have a lot more holidays thank us and they finishes the school at 3 or 4 pm.
