Who this list is for
This supply list is built for high school students managing seven classes. It covers the bare essentials you’ll need to stay organized and ready, no matter the subject.
How to use this list
Use teacher syllabi to tweak for each class. Buy everything before the first week, then adjust if a class needs a specialized notebook or device. The list gives each class a dedicated notebook and folder, plus plenty of writing tools for the year.
Common mistakes
Students often buy too few pens and pencils, leading to mid-semester shortages. Skipping a pencil pouch means lost supplies. Don’t buy all mechanical pencils if teachers require standard No. 2 pencils. Forgetting index cards or graph paper for science or math classes can slow you down.
