High school is a term used in parts of the English-speaking world to describe institutions which provide all or part of secondary education, but not always the highest years of basic education, which can be called a "secondary school" or "secondary college" or other terms, depending on the nation or region (see below: Usage by country). The phrase "high school" is often incorporated into the name of the related institutions.
The term (as "high school") originated in Scotland, with the world's oldest being Edinburgh's Royal High School from 1505. The Royal High School was used as a model for the first public high school in the United States, the English High School founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1821. The precise stage of schooling provided by a high school differs from country to country, and may vary within the same jurisdiction. In all of New Zealand and Malaysia along with parts of Australia, Bangladesh and Canada, high school is synonymous with secondary school, and encompasses the entire secondary stage of education.

Plot
Eddie Adams would have been just another high-school drop-out had he not met the likes of adult film director Jack Horner. Horner transforms Eddie into Dirk Diggler, a rising-star actor with a special gift. Set in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the film is a tribute to the decor, style, culture, and social attitudes of the era.

The life of a dreamer, the days of a business, and the nights in between.
Buck Swope: [to his pregnant wife] How's my little kung fu fighter?::Jessie St. Vincent: He's kicking ass inside my stomach.
[the Colonel's lady friend is lying on the floor, bleeding from the nose]::Young Stud: [wailing] I, I think she did too much coke.::Colonel James: Oh, you think so, doctor?
[in a scene from "Brock Landers: Angels Live In My Town"]::Dirk: [as Brock] You still hungry?::Jessie St. Vincent: Starving.::[unzipping his pants]::Dirk: [as Brock] Then feast on that.
Floyd Gondolli: This here's the future. Videotape tells the truth.::Jack Horner: Wait a minute. You come into my house, my party, to tell me about the future? That the future is tape, videotape, and not film? That it's amateurs and not professionals? I'm a filmmaker, which is why I will *never* make a movie on tape.
Maurice: I'm the ultimate Latin Lover. There ain't no Latin Lover like me.
Dirk: Look, man, all we need is the tapes, all right?::Record Producer: No, you don't get the tapes until you've paid.::Dirk: In our situation, that doesn't make any fucking sense.::Reed Rothchild: Look, we can not pay for the tapes, unless we take the tapes to the record company, and get paid.::Dirk: Hello? Exactly.::Record Producer: That's not an MP, that's a YP, your problem. Come up with the money, or forget it.::Reed Rothchild: Okay, now you're talking above my head. I don't know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP. All I know is that I can't get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That fucking heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don't own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they're waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like assholes, man.::Dirk: Let me explain to him in simple arithmetic. One, two three! Because you don't fuckin' get it, Burt! You give us the tapes. We get the record contract. We come back and give you your fuckin' money. Have you heard the tapes? Have you even heard them? We're guaranteed a record deal. Our stuff is that good!::Record Producer: Now I get it. Now I understand. You want it to happen... but it's not going to happen. Because it's a Catch-22.::Dirk: What the fuck does that mean? What is a Catch-22, Burt?::Record Producer: Catch-22, gentleman. Think about it.::[pause]::Dirk: You know what I'm thinking about, man? I'm thinking about kicking some fuckin' ass!
Dirk: I know fucking karate.
Eddie Adams: [to his mother] You don't know what I can do! You don't know what I can do, what I'm gonna do, or what I'm gonna be! I'm good! I have good things and you don't know about! I'm gonna be something! I am! And don't fucking tell me I'm not!
[last lines]::Dirk: [practicing his lines in the mirror] I've been around this block twice now. Looking for something. A clue. I've been looking for clues and something led me back here. Yeah. So here I am. It could have been me, the one who was at Ringo's place when the shit went down. Hey. I know how it is. I've been there. We've all done bad things. We've all had those guilty feelings in our heart. I'm going to take your brain out of your head and wash it and scrub it and make it clean. I don't know. But I'm going to have to settle this. First we're going to check the hole and see what we can find. We're going to get nice and wet, and you're going to spread your legs. Oh, that's good. So you know me. You know my reputation. Thirteen inches of tough load, I don't treat you gently. That's right. I'm Brock Landers. So I'm going to be nice. So I'm going to be nice. So I'm going to be nice, I'm going to ask you one more time. Where the fuck is Ringo?::Dirk: [he stands, unzips his pants and pulls out his penis] I am a star. I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a star. I am a big, bright, shining star. That's right.::[he rezips his pants]
Reed Rothchild: Want to hear a poem I wrote? "I love you, you love me. Going down the sugar tree. We'll go down the sugar tree, and see lots of bees: playing, playing. But the bees won't sting, because you love me." That's it.
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
Well from the waist down
You don't turn around
Your body takes turns like the words like the words
That are falling from my mouth
My jaw dropped down
My mind had start spinning start spinning all over again
I let you go
Go do whatever ever you like
I hold you close
But your heart says no
Well this feels like high school
Where nothing's new
Where every other boy tries talking to you
I guess graduating changes nothing at all
Well from the neck up
There's not much to say
I know I could do better could do better anyway
But when I'm waking up
Here next to you
I'll be thinking to myself what the hell what the hell did I do
I let you go
Go do whatever ever you like
I hold you close
But your heart says no
Well this feels like high school
Where nothing's new
Where every other boy tries talking to you
I guess graduating changes nothing at all
So high school all over again
Girls trick boys into thinking they like them
I guess graduating changes nothing at all
Well I got over you at last
Well baby I get the last laugh
Where you goin' where you goin'
No one cares to know
Well it feels like high school
But nothing's new
Every other boy tries talking to you
Guess graduating changes nothing at all
Well it feels like high school
All over again
So girls trick boys into thinking they like them
I guess graduating changes nothing at all
Nothing at all
This feels like high school
Where nothing's new
Nothing at all
It's high school (high school), could be (could be) a mini me of the rest of society,
There's always (always) a prom queen (prom queen), there'll always be, always be sororities,
Sadly (sadly) some will be (some will be) eternally keeping score for popularity,
And just cause (just cause) they all do (they all do) doesn't mean we have to act like we're in high school,
Doesn't mean we have to act like we're in high school
Hight school is like a big competition
Beauty contests, prom court is the mission
There can only be one queen, one king
Everyone voting, everyone competing
But these are the rules, the way of high school
If someone puts you down, that's so high school
Someone talks behind your back, that's so high school,
Thinking you have to get them back, that's also high school
I know I'll be graduating early
High school is like the state of the nation
Some people never change after graduation,
Believing any light you shine makes their's lesser,
They have to prove to everyone that thier's is better
These are the rules, the ways of high school
If someone puts you down, that's so high school,
Believing they're too cool for you, that's so high school
If you belive it too, that's also high school,
I know I'll be graduating early
We've all got bad yearbook photos
Which we've forgot to let go
And just like acne our insecurity
Should be something we left with the jv
So here's to letting go of yearbook photos
Things we kept that hold us down so,
That was yesterday, there's always tomorrow,
We are tomorrow, we are tomorrow,
Back in high school my imagination ran wild,
Of all the things I’d do to you.
But my love had a strangle hold on me,
And she cursed your name a thousand times,
But I’ve got you now.
And you helped me out
of this hole I’ve been stuck in for years now,
And now there ain't shit that I gotta fix for once.
Now stay with me cause I need you more than you will ever know,
And then I’ll scream at the top of my lungs I’ll love you forever.
Theres not a single thing in the world that would keep me from you,
I have waited so long to finally kiss your lips,
And I wont give you up now.
And our love will grow and eclipse all the others below,
Cause there ain't shit that I gotta fix no more.
Now stay with me cause I need you more than you will ever know,
And then I’ll scream at the top of my lungs I’ll love you forever
Theres not a place or time that I can go without thinking
of how beautiful you are to me,
All the times I spent suffering in school
Y'know, thinking I was so super cool
And baby, all the teachers gave me so much grief
I wanna blow 'em up just to get some relief
Sister, sister, they call me a parasite
Sister, sister, they wanna bury me alive
All day, all week, all term long
They'd dump on me, hoping I'd be gone
Time made me realize, why should I be victimized?
So I took control and decided to teach
I wanna teach high school, high school, yeah
Listen, I tell the little buggers what to wear
You know, I show 'em how to set and dye their hair
And baby, there'll be no costumes at our swimming pool
There'll be no ugly girls at my high school
Sister, sister, they call me a parasite
Sister, sister, they wanna bury me alive
All day, all week, all term long
They'd dump on me, hoping I'd be gone
Girls who are very bright must stay in class all night
And practice their Biology
I love to teach high school, high school
I need to teach high school, high school, yeah
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Time made me realize, that I could brutalize
And get revenge with impunity
If I could teach high school
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, how I love anatomy
2 plus 2 and 3 plus 3, students have a ball with me
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, how I love anatomy
2 plus 2 and 3 plus 3, students have a ball with me
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, how I love anatomy
2 plus 2 and 3 plus 3, students have a ball with me
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, how I love anatomy
2 plus 2 and 3 plus 3, students have a ball with me

Safely far away,
I remember every word you said

Adolescent dreaming.
Drag race heroes in the night.
Adolescent screaming.
Feeling bad, then feeling right.
No point telling lies

cuz nobody cares if you cut.
and its not smart to experiment,
with ben gay on your nuts.

Did you hear that mikey kissed a girl
Could it be your girlfriend or some other stupid hoe
Did you hear that Timmy shaved his hair
How much do you bet Janes not wearing underwear
Her IQ is smaller that her skirt
She pretends she wants it but she is just a flirt
Joey slept with Susan and now they're going out
Get ready cause
This is high school
Passing notes about what happened Saturday night
Is it possible that there could be a fight
Meet at the oak tree approximately 3pm
I will beat your ass cause now you're in high school
Now you're in high school
Oh how we love these high school days
Don't want to leave wish we could stay
I'll really miss those cheerleaders
They are the highlight of my year
Did you hear about how Mr. Halls
Turns his back to the class so he can scratch his balls
Susans dumping joey she says he sucks in bed
But not as good as she does
