What do high school students do during summer vacation? Sleep in and stay up late, those are probably the main two things. Of course, students can go to the pool once they actually decide to wake up, or they can just lie in bed all day; kidding. There are a variety of things high school students do during the summer, but it all really depends on who you ask. There are the students that will be celebrating not having to come back to high school next year; while there will be the ones that are dreading the new school year. There will also be those students that say they spend their time at the pool and with friends, but there will also be those ones that stay in the house and play video games. There is no way to get an accurate answer because everyone enjoys doing different things; it all really depends on who you ask.
