If it's Junior High school then the Japanese is 中等学校。 Senior High school is 高等学校

Think "koutougakkou" (高等学校) or simply "koukou" (高校) should be OK in most cases. So if you went to ABC High School, you could just write ABC高等学校　or ABC高校.

However, you can get more specific if you like since there are different types of high schools in Japan. Some specialize in certain areas such as:

商業高等学校: Shougyou Koutougakkou (Business)
工業高等学校: Kougyou Koutougakkou (Technical)
農業高等学校： Nougyou Koutougakkou (Agricultural)

While others are more general/college prepratory types of schools:
総合高等学校: Sougou Koutougakkou (General/Comprehensive/College-Prep)

You can also add more info using prefixes such as:

男子- Danshi (All boys)
女子- Jyoshi (All girls)
県立/国立- Prefectural/National
私立- Private

etc., etc.

Most junior high schools (JHS) and senior high schools (SHS) here are for three years each. Grades 7, 8, 9 are typically JHS and 10, 11, 12 are SHS. Not sure how it is in your home country but I'm pretty sure that a Japanese high school freshman (first year student) is roughly the same (age wise) as an American high school sophmore (2nd year student).

Hope that helps.
