I'm writing high school AU, which would be great except I don't really know much about American high schools. So I have a few questions if anyone would be so kind as to help...


1. Would the last lesson of the day be called 'last period'?

2. Would a 17 year old be in Senior year?

3. Are they called terms or semesters? Do they use the word semester in school?

4. What month would senior prom be?


Ta!

Tally ho! I am indeed British, which I should have thought about when I started trying to write about the American school system using only wikipedia! *Head-desk*
