    In UK we don't have "high school" as a general type of school, although some have that in their name, for example "Stamford High School". So "high school graduate" is an AmE term. In UK students who are at secondary school "leave school". For example "Pete left school at age 18 with three A-levels".

  • "High-schooler" vs. "high schooler"
    By far the preferred nomenclature was high school student. High schooler was a distant third, and high-schooler barely mapped. This result was surprising given the rule of hyphenating compound adjectives, but I guess that high school without a hyphen is a standard morphology.

  • "In school" vs "at school"
    In this case, either one will work just fine, because children who are at school (on the school grounds) are also, by default, in school (in their classrooms). On a holiday, they are neither in school nor at school, so you can use either preposition without any loss of meaning. The one exception may be if the football team had a Saturday practice.

  • capitalization
    The vast majority capitalize "X High School" (presumably because the authors recognize that they are dealing with a proper name). As deadrat's answer implies, most then split between all-lowercase for "varsity football team" or all-initial-caps for "Varsity Football Team."
