Do you list your HS education on your resume if you have a college degree?

I do not as I don't have room, and I think its pointless.

Apparently, some in the Letterman thread disagree.

What say the OT, yay or nay on listing HS on resume?

I'd only do it if I went to a well known high school that was local to the job I was applying for.

But since I went to HS in bumfrick, GA, I do not.

If you are in NOLA and went to a NO Private, then yes.

Same response in the jacket thread...

One line, that lets HR know you didn't drop out

Not on mine. With having an undergrad and MBA it is pretty much assumed I graduated from high school.

Maybe if I worked in NOLA and went to Jesuit or one of the more prestigious schools, but even then I doubt I would.

I did well in HS, so yes.

It can't hurt. If you're local, the people at the company might have some connection to the school.

It is one line in the education section. It is probably the most important in my hometown though.

If you lettered then you should always mention it in resumes or online dating profiles. That's just common sense.

Maybe for your first job to fill some space. After that they will care more about your experience.

I did when I was in Louisiana because where I went is a fairly respected place and people knew the school and usually people that went there.

Now that I'm 1,300 miles away I definitely don't have it on there.
