High school students need school supplies that can help them stay organized and focused throughout the school year. Start with a durable and spacious casual backpack or messenger bag to carry school supplies and devices. Important writing supplies like pens, pencils, markers, highlighters and refill paper make taking notes easy. For sorting and organizing notes, binders, notebooks, folders and padfolios are great options. Calculators and measuring tools are important for math and science classes. Having a planner can help keep track of a daily schedule so there’s enough time for tasks. For smartphones, laptops and other devices, a portable power bank can help give you an extra charge when needed and a USB flash drive makes it easy to store and back up assignments. Lastly, be sure to have a lunch bag for snacks and lunch. If you’re not sure what specific supplies you need, we have grade-specific school supplies lists to help you find what you need.

The most useful laptops for high school students are ones that can handle class assignments and personal use. Consider what subjects the laptop will be used for and what programs it will have to run. Popular options for students include the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Windows laptops and AI-powered Microsoft Copilot+ PCs. These laptops are easy to carry and offer features like strong computing power, long battery life and Bluetooth connectivity.

High school students should use their lockers to store bulky items like workbooks, textbooks, coats and backpacks. Lockers are also a good place to keep emergency supplies like first aid kits, extra school supplies and personal care items like facial tissues or hand sanitizer. To keep lockers organized, we have locker accessories like mesh caddies and locker shelves to choose from.
