Junior High School in the USA


Like most students, they go to school in a traditional yellow school bus. They are the safest form of transport in America. In some US states you can drive when you're 16, so some kids drive to school!

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

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