I didn't get a list, but I got an email from the chairman of math and business about the TI-84 calculator. For anyone that needs it- it's on sale for $85 at Target this week. Otherwise, Amazon has it for $99.
I found a reading list for English- and on this note, I'd like to say, pay attention to details with reading lists. My dd's school listed the ISBN numbers and specified they wanted everyone to have the same book/edition. I found the list before that was clarified and ordered all of the necessary books with PBS credits. Turns out, one of them was removed from the list later and two I ordered were the wrong editions. (Sigh.)
Other than that, I have spiral notebooks and notebook paper, graph paper, comp books, binders, folders, pens, pencils, post its, rulers and index cards. I keep a stock of markers and colored pencils, glue sticks and sharpeners too. I really buy the same things every year- but this year I cut out the crayons and fat markers. (That made me a little sad, I admit.) I did not see the blow out sales I used to see on that stuff though.

A high school cannot handout a supply list because the supplies will depend on what subjects the student is taking and what teachers the student has for those subjects. Once a student has their schedule however they can go online and look at the teachers webpage. That webpage will contain the syllabus for the course and a list of any special supplies a student should get.

My school doesn't have a high school supply list. I don't think any of the teachers really require anything Except maybe a binder. My son has a spiral notebook and binders for each class and I buy him pens and pencils.

edited - our school supplies graphing calculators and graph paper. Actually most teachers have paper, pens and pencils if kids need them. We also issue laptops and use google. I think there may even be a graphing calculator app or something they use on the computer.

My kid made her own list and wants the following: two binders - one for gold days and one for blue days, graph paper, pencils (her favorite mechanical brand), the plastic bottle recycle pens, college ruled paper packs, and one subject note books. Everything else we either have on hand or get it when she needs it.

My daughter is starting 7th grade. There wasn't much of a supply list at all. She bought what she thought she would need with her birthday money. She wouldn't let me buy anything.

No supply lists for high school here either. We just buy some basics and fill in later if the teachers have specific requests.

Most high schools do not provide lists even on the days they get their schedule during the summer because the schedule can change due to leveling of classes.
The only real specific items I want for my AP class is a bound composition book, blue or black pens, a scientific calculator (graphing calculator works best), a jump drive and then any other items they usually use.
For my Honors classes I want the same items except for the bound composition book.
I don't know of any of my colleagues that are super picky about what items a student uses. At the high school level we hope that the student has their own preference for how they like to study.

Sorry, no high school lists here either.
Which keeps throwing 15 yr old ADHD dd because she likes being prepared and knowing what is needed. Last year was her first year of high school and it really bothered her not knowing. This year she was much better remembering she had to think of what she might need ahead of time until she got an official list, if she gets one.
