In most jurisdictions, secondary education in the United States refers to the last four years of statutory formal education (grade nine through grade twelve) either at high school or split between a final year of 'junior high school' and three in high school.
History
The United States historically had a demand for general skills rather than specific training/apprenticeships. High school enrollment increased when schools at this level became free, laws required children to attend until a certain age, and it was believed that every American student had the opportunity to participate regardless of their ability.
In 1892, in response to many competing academic philosophies being promoted at the time, a working group of educators, known as the "Committee of Ten" was established by the National Education Association. It recommended twelve years of instruction, consisting of eight years of elementary education followed by four years of high school. Rejecting suggestions that high schools should divide students into college-bound and working-trades groups from the start, and in some cases also by race or ethnic background, they unanimously recommended that "every subject which is taught at all in a secondary school should be taught in the same way and to the same extent to every pupil so long as he pursues it, no matter what the probable destination of the pupil may be, or at what point his education is to cease."
High School is a 1968 American documentary film directed by Frederick Wiseman that shows a typical day for a group of students at Northeast High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was one of the first direct cinema (or cinéma vérité) documentaries. It was shot over five weeks in March and April 1968. The film was not shown in Philadelphia at the time of its release, due to Wiseman's concerns over what he called "vague talk" of a lawsuit.
The film was released in October 1968 by Wiseman's distribution company, Zipporah Films. High School has been aired on PBS Television. Wiseman distributes his work (DVDs and 16mm prints) through Zipporah Films, which rents them to high schools, colleges, and libraries on a five-year long-term lease. High School was selected in 1991 for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Wiseman made a second documentary on high school, High School II, based on Central Park East Secondary School in New York City, released in 1994.
The building was built as a donation from Mrs. Mary B. Young to the people of the city of Fall River, in memory of her son Bradford Matthew Chaloner Durfee, who had died at a young age in 1872, leaving a sizable inheritance.
George A. Clough, a Boston architect was chosen to design the building. Ground was broken in August 1883. The first story of the school is constructed of native Fall River Granite, while the stone of the upper portions is from Mason, New Hampshire. The new high school was formally dedicated to the city on June 15, 1887.
The mười hai bà mụ, or "Twelve Midwives", are creatures from Vietnamese mythology and folk religion. They are twelve fairies who teach babies various prosperous traits and skills such as sucking and smiling. In some parts of Vietnam when a baby is one month old a special ritual is performed for the "Twelve Midwives."

Bubble gum and house parties When you stole your parents rum And tried to screw everything that could breathe Back in high school we didn't have a whole lot to do We watched the world go by on the television screen Said it's the 90's kids that's way out this is way in Go beat each other up on the dance floor Told us drugs were no good But then we smoked 'em and liked 'em So much that we smoked a little more We liked 'em so much, we smoked a little more Did I call your name? Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you? You're so the same but your so different I didn't recognize you It's kinda hard with all that sexual confusion Sometimes you don't know if you're gay or straight But what's the difference, it's a wonderful illusion Most times you won't make it past second base I'm in a band, we kinda suck but we don't now it yet And I don't care anyway 'Cuz soon, I'm gonna sell these drums, pay my rent Support my kid and tell him all about way back in daddy's day I'll tell him all about way back in daddy's day Did I call your name? Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you? You're so the same but your so different I didn't recognize you Some years later by a soda coolerator In a corner store back in my home town This stranger smiles at me, said "Remember the class of '93?" And for some reason it makes him look real proud After all the good times he said we had He looks at me, scratches his head And asked me where the hell I ever went And the funny thing is that I never even knew him But he coulda been any one of my high school friends Did I call your name? Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you? Your so the same but your so different I didn't recognize you Did I call you name? Singin' that song that I wrote for you Singin' that song I wrote for you
Durfee HighSchool before the start of the School Committee meeting on Monday was the city’s public teachers’ latest demonstration demanding improved working and pay conditions — just as the bargaining for reaching a new contract nears a year.
FALL RIVER — The Durfee boys basketball team put forth a great defensive effort on Monday, beating non-league Dartmouth 54-48 at B.M.C. Durfee HighSchool. Jah Stephenson netted a game-high 31 points for the Hilltoppers (5-1; 3-1 in Big 3).
The top golfers from Greater Fall River schools — JosephCase, Diman, Durfee, SomersetBerkley and Westport — had no trouble putting their teams on their shoulders during big matches ... high schools.
Durfee HighSchool, Robert Gorman, a math and computer science teacher, said that negotiations will go on for “as long as they need to,” but that no one looked forward to seeing them stretch into the new year.
The Durfee junior basketball star scored 17 of his career-high 36 points in the final stanza to lift the Hilltoppers to their third straight win, 66-53, over Brockton in a Big 3 Conference matchup at B.M.C. Durfee HighSchool... Durfee 66, Brockton 53.
Durfee HIgh School... "Great defensive effort and high level of physicality as we continue to find our identity," Durfee head coach Joe DaCruz said ... Durfee 59, SomersetBerkley 31 ... SkylarCoward had a team-high 11 points for Durfee (3-3).
Durfee H.S ... "I knew he could do it, and he's always had it in him," said Stephenson after Durfee grinded out a 71-61 win over the Harbormen at B.M.C. Durfee HighSchool... He scored a career-high 29 points for Durfee, including 18 in the first half.
Durfee HighSchool... As with Durfee High, Fall River's original City Hall had the splendor of intricate 19th century design, but when it came time for a replacement, designers went the completely opposite way.
BRAINTREE — Jah Stephenson finished with a game-high 23 points on Monday to lift the Durfee boys basketball team to their first win of the season, 61-57, at BraintreeHighSchool...Matt Sherry ended with double figures in the win for Durfee (1-1).
