Definition of undefined

The term "high school" originated in the 19th century in the United States. It evolved from the Latin term "schola" meaning "school," and the word "high" referred to the fact that these schools offered education beyond the elementary level, preparing students for college or higher learning. Initially, high schools were primarily for elite students, but over time they became more accessible and evolved into the comprehensive secondary education institutions we know today.
