Hey, quick question. Does anyone know what time most high schools generally end their day? I'm thinking about joining some clubs and want to work out my schedule.
Typically, high schools in the United States tend to start between 7:00 - 8:00 a.m. and end between 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. However, finishing times vary considerably based on the school, region, and schedule. Some schools might end the regular classes a bit earlier to provide time for after-school activities, such as clubs or sports.
Remember, your actual end time might be later if you have additional classes—like an extra period—or if you participate in after-school extracurriculars or extracurriculars that meet on certain days after school.
It would be most accurate to check your school's specific schedule or get in touch with your school administration to confirm the timing if you haven't received the information yet. Once you know what time your school day ends, you can start looking into clubs that interest you and see how their meeting times align with your availability.
